NAME

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

INHERITANCE

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

SYNOPSIS

14        See Mail::Message::Field
15

DESCRIPTION

17       This is the faster, but less flexible implementation of a header field.
18       The data is stored in an array, and some hacks are made to speeds
19       things up.  Be gentle with me, and consider that each message contains
20       many of these lines, so speed is very important here.

METHODS

45   Constructors
46       Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Field.
47
48       $obj->clone()
49           Inherited, see "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Field
50
51       Mail::Message::Field::Fast->new($data)
52           The constructor of this object does not follow the usual practise
53           within the Mail::Box suite: it does not use the constructor
54           Mail::Reporter::new().  Therefor it has no logging or tracing
55           facilities.
56
57           The method can be used in one of the following ways:
58
59           •   new LINE
60
61               Pass a LINE as it could be found in a file: a (possibly folded)
62               line which is terminated by a new-line.
63
64           •   new NAME, (BODY|OBJECTS), [ATTRIBUTES]
65
66               A set of values which shape the line.
67
68           Create a new header field object.  Specify the whole LINE at once,
69           and it will be split-up for you.  I case you already have the parts
70           of the header line, you may specify them separately as NAME and
71           BODY.
72
73           In case you specify a single OBJECT, or a reference to an array of
74           OBJECTS, these objects are processed to become suitable to fill a
75           field, usually by simple strification.  When you specify one or
76           more Mail::Address objects, these are transformed into a string
77           using their "format" method.  You may also add one
78           Mail::Message::Field, whose body is taken.  In case of an array,
79           the elements are joined into one string with a comma.
80
81           ATTRIBUTES can be exactly one string which may contain multiple
82           attributes at once, quoted and formatted as required in RFC2822.
83           As alternative, list of key-value pairs can be used.  In this case,
84           the values will get quoted if needed and everything formatted as
85           the protocol demands.
86
87            -Option--Defined in     --Default
88             log     Mail::Reporter   <disabled>
89             trace   Mail::Reporter   <disabled>

91           log => LEVEL
92           trace => LEVEL
93
94           example:
95
96            my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
97             'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII');
98
99            my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
100             'Content-Type' => 'text/plain; charset=US-ASCII');
101
102            my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
103             'Content-Type' => 'text/plain', 'charset=US-ASCII');
104
105            my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
106             'Content-Type' => 'text/plain', charset => 'Latin1');
107
108            my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
109             To => Mail::Address->new('My', 'me@example.com');
110
111            my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
112             Cc => [ Mail::Address->new('You', 'you@example.com')
113                   , Mail::Address->new('His', 'he@example.com')
114                   ]);
115
116           But in practice, you can simply call
117
118            my $head = Mail::Message::Head->new;
119            $head->add( 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain'
120                      , charset => 'utf8');
121
122           which implicitly calls this constructor (when needed).  You can
123           specify the same things for Mail::Message::Head::Complete::add() as
124           this "new" accepts.

DIAGNOSTICS

290       Warning: Field content is not numerical: $content
291           The numeric value of a field is requested (for instance the "Lines"
292           or "Content-Length" fields should be numerical), however the data
293           contains weird characters.
294
295       Warning: Illegal character in field name $name
296           A new field is being created which does contain characters not
297           permitted by the RFCs.  Using this field in messages may break
298           other e-mail clients or transfer agents, and therefore mutulate or
299           extinguish your message.
300
301       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
302           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does
303           not implement this method where it should. This message means that
304           some other related classes do implement this method however the
305           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and
306           probably inform the author of the package.
