SYNOPSIS

14         use Email::MIME::ContentType;
15
16         # Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
17         my $ct = 'text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed';
18         my $data = parse_content_type($ct);
19
20         $data = {
21           discrete   => "text",
22           composite  => "plain",
23           attributes => {
24             charset => "us-ascii",
25             format  => "flowed"
26           }

FUNCTIONS

30       parse_content_type
31
32       This routine is exported by default.
33
34       This routine parses email content type headers according to section 5.1
35       of RFC 2045. It returns a hash as above, with entries for the discrete
36       type, the composite type, and a hash of attributes.
37

WARNINGS

39       This is not a valid content-type header, according to both RFC 1521 and
40       RFC 2045:
41
42         Content-Type: type/subtype;
43
44       If a semicolon appears, a parameter must.  "parse_content_type" will
45       carp if it encounters a header of this type, but you can suppress this
46       by setting $Email::MIME::ContentType::STRICT_PARAMS to a false value.
47       Please consider localizing this assignment!
