Mail::Address(3pm)    User Contributed Perl Documentation   Mail::Address(3pm)

NAME
       Mail::Address - Parse mail addresses

SYNOPSIS
	use Mail::Address;
	my @addrs = Mail::Address->parse($line);

	foreach $addr (@addrs) {
	    print $addr->format,"\n";
	}

DESCRIPTION
       "Mail::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.

METHODS
   Constructors
       Mail::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 with 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
