This package provides a class object which can be used for reading, creating,
manipulating and writing RFC822 compliant headers.
-
new ( [ ARG ], [ OPTIONS ] )
-
ARG may be either a file descriptor (reference to a GLOB)
or a reference to an array. If given the new object will be
initialized with headers either from the array of read from
the file descriptor.
OPTIONS is a list of options given in the form of key-value
pairs, just like a hash table. Valid options are
-
Reformat
-
If this value is true then the headers will be re-formatted,
otherwise the format of the header lines will remain unchanged.
-
MailFrom
-
This option specifies what to do when a header in the form `From '
is encountered. Valid values are
IGNORE - ignore and discard the header,
ERROR - invoke an error (call die), COERCE - rename them as Mail-From
and KEEP - keep them.
-
FoldLength
-
The default length of line to be used when folding header lines
