=head1 NAME

Email::LocalDelivery - Deliver a piece of email - simply

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Email::LocalDelivery;
  my @delivered_to = Email::LocalDelivery->deliver($mail, @boxes);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module delivers an email to a list of mailboxes.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 deliver

This takes an email, as a plain string, and a list of mailboxes to
deliver that mail to. It returns the list of boxes actually written to.
If no boxes are given, it assumes the standard Unix mailbox. (Either
C<$ENV{MAIL}>, F</var/spool/mail/you>, F</var/mail/you>, or
F<~you/Maildir/>)

    my ($class, $mail, @boxes) = @_;
    croak "Mail argument to deliver should just be a plain string"
        if ref $mail;
    if (!@boxes) {
        my $default_unixbox = ( grep { -d $_ } qw(/var/spool/mail/ /var/mail/) )[0] . getpwuid($>);
        my $default_maildir = ((getpwuid($>))[7])."/Maildir/";

        @boxes = $ENV{MAIL}
            || (-e $default_unixbox && $default_unixbox)
            || (-d $default_maildir."cur" && $default_maildir);

    push @{$to_deliver{folder_type($_)}}, $_
      for map { expand_filename $_ } @boxes;
