Mail::Message::Field::Fast - one line of a message header


NAME

Mail::Message::Field::Fast - one line of a message header


INHERITANCE

 Mail::Message::Field::Fast
   is a Mail::Message::Field
   is a Mail::Reporter


SYNOPSIS

 See Mail::Message::Field


DESCRIPTION

This is the faster, but less flexible implementation of a header field. The data is stored in an array, and some hacks are made to speeds things up. Be gentle with me, and consider that each message contains many of these lines, so speed is very important here.

METHODS

Constructors

$obj->clone

See Constructors in the Mail::Message::Field manpage

Mail::Message::Field::Fast->new(DATA)

The constructor of this object does not follow the usual practise within the Mail::Box suite: it does not use the constructor Mail::Reporter::new(). Therefor it has no logging or tracing facilities.

The method can be used in one of the following ways:

The field

$obj->isStructured

Mail::Message::Field::Fast->isStructured

See The field in the Mail::Message::Field manpage

$obj->length

$obj->print([FILEHANDLE])

See The field in the Mail::Message::Field manpage

$obj->size

See The field in the Mail::Message::Field manpage

$obj->string([WRAP])

See The field in the Mail::Message::Field manpage

$obj->toDisclose

DIAGNOSTICS

Warning: Field content is not numerical: $content

The numeric value of a field is requested (for instance the Lines or Content-Length fields should be numerical), however the data contains weird characters.

Warning: Illegal character in field name $name

A new field is being created which does contain characters not permitted by the RFCs. Using this field in messages may break other e-mail clients or transfer agents, and therefore mutulate or extinguish your message.

Error: Package $package does not implement $method.

Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
