=head1 NAME Mail::Field::AddrList - object representation of e-mail address lists =head1 INHERITANCE Mail::Field::AddrList is a Mail::Field =head1 SYNOPSIS use Mail::Field::AddrList; $to = Mail::Field->new('To'); $from = Mail::Field->new('From', 'poe@daimi.aau.dk (Peter Orbaek)'); $from->create('foo@bar.com' => 'Mr. Foo', poe => 'Peter'); $from->parse('foo@bar.com (Mr Foo), Peter Orbaek '); # make a RFC822 header string print $from->stringify(),"\n"; # extract e-mail addresses and names @addresses = $from->addresses(); # strings @names = $from->names(); # strings @addr = $from->addr_list(); # Mail::Address objects (v2.00) # adjoin a new address to the list $from->set_address('foo@bar.com', 'Mr. Foo'); =head1 DESCRIPTION Defines parsing and formatting of address field, for the following fields: C, C, C, C, and C. All the normally used features of the address field specification of RFC2822 are implemented, but some complex (and therefore hardly ever used) constructs will not be inderstood. Use Mail::Message::Field::Full in MailBox if you need full RFC compliance. =head1 METHODS =head2 Constructors Mail::Field::AddrList-EB(FIELDS) =over 4 See L =back Mail::Field::AddrList-EB(TAG, HEAD [, INDEX ]) =over 4 See L =back Mail::Field::AddrList-EB(TAG [, STRING | OPTIONS]) =over 4 See L =back =head2 "Fake" constructors $obj-EB(OPTIONS) =over 4 See L =back $obj-EB =over 4 See L =back =head2 Accessors $obj-EB(OPTIONS) =over 4 See L =back $obj-EB =over 4 See L =back $obj-EB Mail::Field::AddrList-EB =over 4 See L =back =head2 Smart accessors $obj-EB =over 4 Returns the collected L objects. =back $obj-EB =over 4 Returns a list if email addresses, found in the field content. =back $obj-EB =over 4 Returns a list of nicely formatted named, for each of the addresses found in the content. =back $obj-EB(EMAIL, NAME) =over 4 Add/replace an EMAIL address to the field. =back $obj-EB([STRING]) =over 4 See L =back =head1 DETAILS =head1 DIAGNOSTICS Error: Undefined subroutine called =over 4 Mail::Field objects use autoloading to compile new functionality. Apparently, the mehod called is not implemented for the specific class of the field object. =back =head1 SEE ALSO This module is part of the MailTools distribution, F. =head1 AUTHORS The MailTools bundle was developed by Graham Barr.
