Email::MIME::Header - the header of a MIME message
version 1.952
This object behaves like a standard Email::Simple header, with the following
changes:
-
the
header method automatically decodes encoded headers if possible
-
the
header_as_obj method returns an object representation of the header value
-
the
header_raw method returns the raw header; (read only for now)
-
stringification uses
header_raw rather than header
Note that header_set does not do encoding for you, and expects an
encoded header. Thus, header_set round-trips with header_raw,
not header! Be sure to properly encode your headers with
Encode::encode('MIME-Header', $value) before passing them to
header_set. And be sure to use minimal version 2.83 of Encode
module due to bugs in MIME-Header.
Alternately, if you have Unicode (character) strings to set in headers, use the
header_str_set method.
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work
on any version of perl released in the last five years.
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the
minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased
for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower
the minimum required perl.
