METHODS

Constructors

$obj->clone

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

If you stick to this flexible class of header fields, you have a bit more facilities than with Mail::Message::Field::Fast. Amongst it, you can specify options with the creation. Possible arguments:

new LINE
ass a LINE as it could be found in a file: a (possibly folded) line which is terminated by a new-line.
new NAME, (BODY|OBJECTS), [ATTRIBUTES], OPTIONS
A set of values which shape the line.
To be able to distinguish the different parameters, you will have to specify the OPTIONS as ARRAY of option pairs, or HASH of options. The ATTRIBUTES are a flat list of key-value pairs. The body is specified as one BODY string, one OBJECT, or a reference to an array of OBJECTS. See Mail::Message::Field:
```
 Option      Defined in       Default      
 attributes                   C<[]>        
 comment                      undef        
 log         L<Mail::Reporter>  C<'WARNINGS'>
 trace       L<Mail::Reporter>  C<'WARNINGS'>
```
. attributes ATTRS

Reference to array with list of key-value pairs representing attributes, or reference to a hash containing these pairs. This is an alternative notation for specifying ATTRIBUTES directly as method arguments.

. comment STRING

A pre-formatted list of attributes.

. log LEVEL

. trace LEVEL
