Mail::SPF::Query version 1.993 has been released; it adds support for
Caller-ID lookups.  You will need Expat, XML::Parser, and LMAP::CID2SPF
from http://www.baschny.de/spf/LMAP-CID2SPF-0.9.tar.gz (note that the
CID2SPF module name may change in the future; experiment at your own risk.)

I had some other ideas here for a name, but nothing convincing. Do
you have a suggestion? I expected to see other modules in the "LMAP"
scene, such as converting from one to the other format, etc. Maybe
it should be Mail::LMAP::CID2SPF. I also tried Convert::CID2SPF or
Convert::LMAP::CID2SPF.

Caller-ID may be a patented technology and you may require a license
from Microsoft to use it.  If this worries you, you should download
version 1.992 instead.

Anyway, I'm glad you could make use of it in your module. Your comments
about its integration with 1.993 (in your announcement mail and on the
download webpage) imply that 1.993 will not work without the CID2SPF
module. I see in your code that this is not the case: If CID2SPF is
not available, it simply won't be used, which is what I would expect,
but didn't know before looking at the source code.
