NAME
    MIME::Expander - Walks through all the MIME parts expanded recursively
    in a message

SYNOPSIS
        use MIME::Expander;
        use IO::All;
    
        my $callback = sub {
                my $em = shift; # is instance of Email::MIME
                $em->body > io( $em->filename );
            };
    
        my $exp = MIME::Expander->new;
        my $num = $exp->walk( io($ARGV[0])->all, $callback );
    
        print "total $num files are expanded.\n";

DESCRIPTION
    MIME::Expander is an utility module that works like the
    Email::MIME::walk method. Feature of this module is that all the parts
    passing to the callback, are expanded by MIME mechanism. It expands
    archived, compressed or multi-parted message using various
    MIME::Expander::Plugin modules.

CONSTRUCTOR AND ACCESSORS
    The constructor new() accepts a reference of hash as configurations.

    Following key of hash are available, and there is an access method of a
    same name.

    expects
        A value is a list reference and the elements are string or regular
        expression.

        If this parameter is set, then the walk() will not expand contents
        of specified mime types.

    guesser
        A value is a reference of code or reference of array which contains
        name of the "guess classes". In the case of a code, it is only
        performed for determining the mime type. In array, it performs in
        order of the element, and what was determined first is adopted.

        Each routines have to determine the type of the data which will be
        inputted.

        The parameters passed to a routine are a reference of scalar to
        contents, and information as reference of hash.

        Although the information may have a "filename", however depending on
        implements of each expander module, it may not be expectable.

        The routine have to return mime type string, or undef. If value of
        return is false value, that means "application/octet-stream".

        For example, sets routine which determine text or jpeg.

            my $exp = MIME::Expander->new({
                guesser => sub {
                        my $ref_contents = shift;
                        my $info         = shift || {};
                        if( defined $info->{filename} ){
                            my ($suffix) = $info->{filename} =~ /\.(.+)$/;
                            if( defined $suffix ){
                                if( lc $suffix eq 'txt' ){
                                    return 'text/plain';
                                }elsif( $suffix =~ /^jpe?g$/i ){
                                    return 'image/jpeg';
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    },
                });

        When useing the "guess classes", like this is the default of
        guesser, package name is omissible:

            my $exp = MIME::Expander->new({
                guesser => [qw/MMagic FileName/],
                });

        Please look in under namespace of MIME::Expander::Guess about what
        kinds of routine are available.

    depth
        A value is a native number.

        Please see "walk".

CLASS METHODS
  regulate_type( $type )
    Simplify when the type which removed "x-" is registered.

        MIME::Expander->regulate_type("text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP");
        #=> "text/plain"

        MIME::Expander->regulate_type('application/x-tar');
        #=> "application/tar"

    Please see about "simplified" in the document of MIME::Type.

INSTANCE METHODS
  init
    Initialize instance. This is for overriding.

  expects( \@list )
    Accessor to field "expects".

  is_expected( $type )
    Is $type the contents set to field "expects" ?

  depth( $native_number )
    Accessor to field "depth".

  guesser( \&code | \@list )
    Accessor to field "guesser".

  guess_type_of( \$contents, [\%info] )
    Determine mime type from the $contents.

    Optional %info is as hint for determing mime type. It will be passed to
    "guesser" directly.

    A key "filename" can be included in %info.

  plugin_for( $type )
    Get an instance of the expander class for mime type "$type".

        my $me = MIME::Expander->new;
        my $expander = $me->plugin_for('application/tar') or die "not available";
        $expander->expand( \$data, $callback );

    Please see also the PLUGIN section.

  create_media( \$contents )
    Create an instance of Email::MIME from $contents. If $contents does not
    look like a valid syntax of email, it is as an attachment.

  walk( \$message, $callback )
    Walks through all the MIME parts expanded recursively in a $message. If
    the $message includes expandable contents, the callback will accept each
    MIME parts as instance of Email::MIME. Or $message does not have parts,
    the callback will accept $message own.

    See also Email::MIME about $email object.

    Note that the expanded data are further checked and processed
    recursively. And the recursive depth is to the level of the value of
    "depth" field.

PLUGIN
    Expanding module for expand contents can be added as plug-in.

    Please see MIME::Expander::Plugin for details.

CAVEATS
    This module implements in-memory decompression.
