SYNOPSIS

12         use Email::MIME::ContentType;
13
14         # Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
15         my $ct = 'text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed';
16         my $data = parse_content_type($ct);
17
18         $data = {
19           discrete   => "text",
20           composite  => "plain",
21           attributes => {
22             charset => "us-ascii",
23             format  => "flowed"
24           }

FUNCTIONS

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

WARNINGS

36       This is not a valid content-type header, according to both RFC 1521 and
37       RFC 2045:
38
39         Content-Type: type/subtype;
40
41       If a semicolon appears, a parameter must.  "parse_content_type" will
42       carp if it encounters a header of this type, but you can suppress this
43       by setting $Email::MIME::ContentType::STRICT_PARAMS to a false value.
44       Please consider localizing this assignment!
