NAME
       Mail::Spool::Handle - Mail Spool	directory encapsulization

SYNOPSIS
	 #!/usr/bin/perl -w
	 package MySpoolHandle;

	 use Mail::Spool::Handle;
	 @ISA =	qw(Mail::Spool::Handle);

	 # OR

	 sub new {
	   my $self = __PACKAGE__->SUPER::new(@_);

	   ### do my own stuff here

	   return $self;
	 }

DESCRIPTION
       Mail::Spool::Handle is intended as an encapsulization of	a directory
       for use by Mail::Spool.	It has been written with the intent of being
       able to use a database or other "file" system as	a backend.

PROPERTIES
       Properties of Mail::Spool::Handle are accessed methods of the same
       name.  They may be set by calling the method and	passing	the new	value
       as an argument.	For example:

	 my $spool_dir = $self->spool_dir;
	 $self->spool_dir($new_spool_dir);

       The following properties	are available:

       spool_dir
	   Path	to the directory of this spool.

       fallback_dir
	   Path	to the directory of the	fallback spool,	used if	a node could
	   could not be	delivered.  If undef, it is assumed that that message
	   is undeliverable.

       wait
	   Number of seconds which a node must be present in the spool before
	   it can be sent.

       dh  An open directory handle to spool_dir.

       spool
	   Return the spool that created this msh object.

METHODS
       new Returns a Mail::Spool::Handle object.  Arguments in the form	of a
	   hash	or hash	ref are	used to	populate the object.

       open_spool
	   Opens a directory handle on spool_dir and stores the	result in dh.

       next_node
	   Essentially does a readdir on the dh	property.  Returns a
	   Mail::Spool::Node object.  Once there are no	more nodes, it returns
	   undef.

       mail_spool_node
	   Calls &Mail::Spool::mail_spool_node by default.  Returns a
	   Mail::Spool::Node.
