NAMEMail::Address − parse mail addresses

SYNOPSIS​ use Mail::Address; ​ my @addrs = Mail::Address−>parse($line); ​ ​ foreach $addr (@addrs) { ​ print $addr−>format,"\n"; ​ }

DESCRIPTIONMail::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; • limited support for escapes in phrases and comments. There are cases where it can get wrong; and • 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 the maintainers of this code 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 $s = Mail::Message::Field::Full−>new($from_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;

METHODS

ConstructorsMail::Address−>new( $phrase, $address, [ $comment ] ) 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) example: ​ Mail::Address−>new("Perl5 Porters", "perl5−porters@africa.nicoh.com"); $obj>parse($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 example: ​ my @addr = Mail::Address−>parse($line);

Accessors$obj>address() Return the address part of the object. $obj>comment() Return the comment part of the object $obj>format(@addresses) Return a string representing the address in a suitable form to be placed on a To, Cc, or Bcc line of a message. This method is called on the first address to be used; other specified addresses will be appended, separated by commas. $obj>phrase() Return the phrase part of the object.

Smart accessors$obj>host() Return the address excluding the user id and '@' $obj>name() Using the information contained within the object attempt to identify what the person or groups name is. Note: This function tries to be smart with the phrase of the email address, which is probably a very bad idea. Consider to use ​phrase() itself. $obj>user() Return the address excluding the '@' and the mail domain
