SYNOPSIS

my $subject = $headers->get('subject');
print $subject->value;

DESCRIPTION

This class represents a single header, which consists of a name and value.

API

This class supports the following methods:

Courriel::Header->new( ... )

This method requires two attributes, "name" and "value". Both must be strings. The "name" cannot be empty, but the "value" can.

$header->name()

The header name as passed to the constructor.

$header->value()

The header value as passed to the constructor.

$header->as_string( charset => $charset )

Returns the header name and value with any necessary MIME encoding and folding.

The "charset" parameter specifies what character set to use for MIME-encoding non-ASCII values. This defaults to ``utf8''. The charset name must be one recognized by the Encode module.

$header->stream_to( output => $output, charset => ... )

This method will send the stringified header to the specified output. The output can be a subroutine reference, a filehandle, or an object with a "print()" method. The output may be sent as a single string, as a list of strings, or via multiple calls to the output.

See the "as_string()" method for documentation on the "charset" parameter.

ROLES

This class does the "Courriel::Role::Streams" role.
