NAME

6       Mail::Message::Field::Flex - one line of a message header
7

INHERITANCE

9        Mail::Message::Field::Flex
10          is a Mail::Message::Field
11          is a Mail::Reporter
12

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

15       This is the flexible implementation of a field: it can easily be
16       extended because it stores its data in a hash and the constructor
17       ("new") and initializer ("init") are split.  However, you pay the price
18       in performance.  Mail::Message::Field::Fast is faster (as the name
19       predicts).
20
21       Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Message::Field.
22

OVERLOADED

24       Extends "OVERLOADED" in Mail::Message::Field.
25
26       overload: ""
27           Inherited, see "OVERLOADED" in Mail::Message::Field
28
29       overload: 0+
30           Inherited, see "OVERLOADED" in Mail::Message::Field
31
32       overload: <=>
33           Inherited, see "OVERLOADED" in Mail::Message::Field
34
35       overload: bool
36           Inherited, see "OVERLOADED" in Mail::Message::Field
37
38       overload: cmp
39           Inherited, see "OVERLOADED" in Mail::Message::Field
40

METHODS

42       Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Message::Field.
43
44   Constructors
45       Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Field.
46
47       $obj->clone()
48           Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Field
49
50       Mail::Message::Field::Flex->new($data)
51           If you stick to this flexible class of header fields, you have a
52           bit more facilities than with Mail::Message::Field::Fast.  Amongst
53           it, you can specify options with the creation.  Possible arguments:
54
55           •   new LINE
56
57               ass a LINE as it could be found in a file: a (possibly folded)
58               line which is terminated by a new-line.
59
60           •   new NAME, (BODY|OBJECTS), [ATTRIBUTES], OPTIONS
61
62               A set of values which shape the line.
63
64           To be able to distinguish the different parameters, you will have
65           to specify the OPTIONS as ARRAY of option pairs, or HASH of
66           options.  The ATTRIBUTES are a flat list of key-value pairs.  The
67           body is specified as one BODY string, one OBJECT, or a reference to
68           an array of OBJECTS.  See Mail::Message::Field:
69
70            -Option    --Defined in     --Default
71             attributes                   []
72             comment                      undef
73             log         Mail::Reporter   'WARNINGS'
74             trace       Mail::Reporter   'WARNINGS'
75
76           attributes => ATTRS
77             Reference to array with list of key-value pairs representing
78             attributes, or reference to a hash containing these pairs.  This
79             is an alternative notation for specifying ATTRIBUTES directly as
80             method arguments.
81
82           comment => STRING
83             A pre-formatted list of attributes.
84
85           log => LEVEL
86           trace => LEVEL

DIAGNOSTICS

252       Warning: Field content is not numerical: $content
253           The numeric value of a field is requested (for instance the "Lines"
254           or "Content-Length" fields should be numerical), however the data
255           contains weird characters.
256
257       Warning: Illegal character in field name $name
258           A new field is being created which does contain characters not
259           permitted by the RFCs.  Using this field in messages may break
260           other e-mail clients or transfer agents, and therefore mutulate or
261           extinguish your message.
262
263       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
264           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
265           not implement this method where it should. This message means that
266           some other related classes do implement this method however the
267           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and
268           probably inform the author of the package.
