NAME
Mail::Address - Parse mail addressesSYNOPSIS
use Mail::Address;
my @addrs = Mail::Address->parse($line);
foreach $addr (@addrs) { print $addr->format,"\n"; }
DESCRIPTION
"Mail::Address" extracts and manipulates email addresses from a message header. It cannot be used to extract addresses from some random text. You can use this module to create RFC822 compliant fields.Although "Mail::Address" is a very popular subject for books, and is used in many applications, it does a very poor job on the more complex message fields. It does only handle simple address formats (which covers about 95% of what can be found). Problems are with
- *
- no support for address groups, even not with the semi-colon as separator between addresses
- *
- Limitted support for escapes in phrases and comments. There are cases where it can get wrong.
- *
- You have to take care of most escaping when you create an address yourself: "Mail::Address" does not do that for you.
Often requests are made to improve this situation, but this is not a good idea, where it will break zillions of existing applications. If you wish for a fully RFC2822 compliant implementation you may take a look at Mail::Message::Field::Full, part of MailBox.
Example:
my $s = Mail::Message::Field::Full->parse($header); # ref $s isa Mail::Message::Field::Addresses;
my @g = $s->groups; # all groups, at least one # ref $g[0] isa Mail::Message::Field::AddrGroup; my $ga = $g[0]->addresses; # group addresses
my @a = $s->addresses; # all addresses # ref $a[0] isa Mail::Message::Field::Address;
CONSTRUCTORS
- new( PHRASE, ADDRESS, [ COMMENT ])
-
Mail::Address->new("Perl5 Porters", "perl5-porters@africa.nicoh.com");
Create a new "Mail::Address" object which represents an address with the elements given. In a message these 3 elements would be seen like:
PHRASE <ADDRESS> (COMMENT) ADDRESS (COMMENT)
- parse( LINE )
-
Mail::Address->parse($line);
Parse the given line a return a list of extracted "Mail::Address" objects. The line would normally be one taken from a To,Cc or Bcc line in a message
METHODS
- phrase ()
- Return the phrase part of the object.
- address ()
- Return the address part of the object.
- comment ()
- Return the comment part of the object
- format ()
- Return a string representing the address in a suitable form to be placed on a To,Cc or Bcc line of a message
- name ()
- Using the information contained within the object attempt to identify what the person or groups name is
- host ()
- Return the address excluding the user id and '@'
- user ()
