Sure.

Install notes:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you look at the Windows malware - a lot of attackers don't even 
care about getting "admin", just normal user privileges are good 
enough to do what they want (zombies to send spam, DoS, etc).

cron jobs + LWP + Google + eval = fun, right?

Could always look in ~/Maildir etc for "Spam" to eval too.

Have a nice day ;).
