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



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;

       •   limitted 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.

       $obj->user()
           Return the address excluding the '@' and the mail domain
