NAME¶
Mail::Field::Generic - implementation for inspecific fields
INHERITANCE¶
Mail::Field::Generic is a Mail::Field
SYNOPSIS¶
use Mail::Field;
my $field = Mail::Field->new('Subject', 'some subject text');
my $field = Mail::Field->new(subject => 'some subject text');
DESCRIPTION¶
A generic implementation for header fields without own implementation. This is fine for fields like "Subject", "X-Mailer", etc., where the field holds only a string of no particular importance/format.
METHODS¶
Constructors¶
- Mail::Field::Generic->combine(FIELDS)
- See "Constructors" in Mail::Field
- Mail::Field::Generic->extract(TAG, HEAD [, INDEX ])
- See "Constructors" in Mail::Field
- Mail::Field::Generic->new(TAG [, STRING | OPTIONS])
- See "Constructors" in Mail::Field
"Fake" constructors¶
- $obj->create(OPTIONS)
-
-Option--Default Text ''
- $obj->parse([STRING])
- Set the new text, which is empty when no STRING is provided.
Accessors¶
- $obj->set(OPTIONS)
- See "Accessors" in Mail::Field
- $obj->stringify()
- See "Accessors" in Mail::Field
- $obj->tag()
- Mail::Field::Generic->tag()
- See "Accessors" in Mail::Field
Smart accessors¶
- $obj->text([STRING])
- See "Smart accessors" in Mail::Field
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.
