0806b46b7b Add p5-IMAP-Client-0.13 (and its small dependency, p5-URI-imap).
From DESCR:

This module was created as a low-level inteface to any IMAP server.  It
was built to be a 'clear box' solution to working with an IMAP environ-
ment.  The idea is that anything an IMAP client should be able to do,
and any information available via the IMAP specs, should be available
to a client interface and user.  This way, the full strength of the
IMAP protocol and data can be utilized, ideally in the most network-
efficient mannger possible, rather than being contrained only to a sub-
set of commands or data-limited responses.  If the server says it, the
client should be able to see it.

This module also takes steps to be able to handle anticipated situa-
tions for the user rather than forcing a per-implementation behavior
for such expected events, such as referrals.  IMAP::Client will fully
support referrals, and will transparently handle them for whatever com-
mand is issued to them (so long as the referral s for anonymous or the
same user with the same password - a new user or different password
would require a new username/password to be obtained.  As of 0.01, this
is not supported, however the framework is down.

This module also tries to follow the various RFCs for IMAPrev1 communi-
cations very closely, enforcing client-side responsabilities where
appropriate.
