[Nathan Johanson]

Just curious... What are the advantages of using the module over the
actual scanner binary? Speed?

All done and working. Will be in the next beta.

Instructions run along the lines of

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Parser::RecDescent
install Inline
install Mail::ClamAV

Then set 'Virus Scanners = clamavmodule' in MailScanner.conf and restart
MailScanner.
