NAME

6       Mail::Field::Generic - implementation for inspecific fields
7

INHERITANCE

9        Mail::Field::Generic
10          is a Mail::Field
11

SYNOPSIS

13        use Mail::Field;
14        my $field = Mail::Field->new('Subject', 'some subject text');
15        my $field = Mail::Field->new(subject => 'some subject text');
16

DESCRIPTION

18       A generic implementation for header fields without own implementation.
19       This is fine for fields like "Subject", "X-Mailer", etc., where the
20       field holds only a string of no particular importance/format.

DIAGNOSTICS

58       Error: Undefined subroutine <method> called
59           Mail::Field objects use autoloading to compile new functionality.
60           Apparently, the mehod called is not implemented for the specific
61           class of the field object.
