NAME¶
Mail::Field::AddrList - object representation of e-mail address lists
INHERITANCE¶
Mail::Field::AddrList is a Mail::Field
SYNOPSIS¶
use Mail::Field::AddrList;
$to = Mail::Field->new('To');
$from = Mail::Field->new('From', 'poe@daimi.aau.dk (Peter Orbaek)');
$from->create('foo@bar.com' => 'Mr. Foo', poe => 'Peter');
$from->parse('foo@bar.com (Mr Foo), Peter Orbaek <poe>');
# make a RFC822 header string
print $from->stringify(),"\n";
# extract e-mail addresses and names
@addresses = $from->addresses(); # strings
@names = $from->names(); # strings
@addr = $from->addr_list(); # Mail::Address objects (v2.00)
# adjoin a new address to the list
$from->set_address('foo@bar.com', 'Mr. Foo');
DESCRIPTION¶
Defines parsing and formatting of address field, for the following fields: "To", "From", "Cc", "Reply-To", and "Sender".
All the normally used features of the address field specification of RFC2822 are implemented, but some complex (and therefore hardly ever used) constructs will not be inderstood. Use Mail::Message::Field::Full in MailBox if you need full RFC compliance.
METHODS¶
Constructors¶
- Mail::Field::AddrList->combine(FIELDS)
- See "Constructors" in Mail::Field
- Mail::Field::AddrList->extract(TAG, HEAD [, INDEX ])
- See "Constructors" in Mail::Field
- Mail::Field::AddrList->new(TAG [, STRING | OPTIONS])
- See "Constructors" in Mail::Field
"Fake" constructors¶
- $obj->create(OPTIONS)
- See ""Fake" constructors" in Mail::Field
- $obj->parse()
- See ""Fake" constructors" in Mail::Field
Accessors¶
- $obj->set(OPTIONS)
- See "Accessors" in Mail::Field
- $obj->stringify()
- See "Accessors" in Mail::Field
- $obj->tag()
- Mail::Field::AddrList->tag()
- See "Accessors" in Mail::Field
Smart accessors¶
- $obj->addr_list()
- Returns the collected Mail::Address objects.
- $obj->addresses()
- Returns a list if email addresses, found in the field content.
- $obj->names()
- Returns a list of nicely formatted named, for each of the addresses found in the content.
- $obj->set_address(EMAIL, NAME)
- Add/replace an EMAIL address to the field.
- $obj->text([STRING])

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