NAME

Courriel::Header - A single header's name and value

VERSION

version 0.33

SYNOPSIS

  my $subject = $headers->get('subject');
  print $subject->value();

DESCRIPTION

This class represents a single header, which consists of a name and value.

API

This class supports the following methods:

Courriel::Header->new( ... )

This method requires two attributes, name and value. Both must be strings. The name cannot be empty, but the value can.

$header->name()

The header name as passed to the constructor.

$header->value()

The header value as passed to the constructor.

$header->as_string( charset => $charset )

Returns the header name and value with any necessary MIME encoding and folding.

The charset parameter specifies what character set to use for MIME-encoding non-ASCII values. This defaults to "utf8". The charset name must be one recognized by the Encode module.

$header->stream_to( output => $output, charset => ... )

This method will send the stringified header to the specified output. The output can be a subroutine reference, a filehandle, or an object with a print() method. The output may be sent as a single string, as a list of strings, or via multiple calls to the output.

See the as_string() method for documentation on the charset parameter.

ROLES

This class does the Courriel::Role::Streams role.
