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



NAME
       Mail::Cap - Parse mailcap files

SYNOPSIS
        my $mc = new Mail::Cap;
        $desc = $mc->description('image/gif');

        print "GIF desc: $desc\n";
        $cmd = $mc->viewCmd('text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1', 'file.txt');

DESCRIPTION
       Parse mailcap files as specified in "RFC 1524 --A User Agent Configuration Mechanism For Multimedia
       Mail Format Information>.  In the description below $type refers to the MIME type as specified in the
       "Content-Type" header of mail or HTTP messages.  Examples of types are:

         image/gif
         text/html
         text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

       You could also take a look at the File::MimeInfo distribution, which are accessing tables which are
       used by many applications on a system, and therefore have succeeded the mail-cap specifications on
       modern (UNIX) systems.

METHODS
   Constructors
       Mail::Cap->new(OPTIONS)
           Create and initialize a new Mail::Cap object.  If you give it an argument it will try to parse
           the specified file.  Without any arguments it will search for the mailcap file using the standard
           mailcap path, or the MAILCAPS environment variable if it is defined.

            -Option  --Default
             filename  undef
             take      'FIRST'

           filename => FILENAME
             Add the specified file to the list to standard locations.  This file is tried first.

           take => 'ALL'|'FIRST'
             Include all mailcap files you can find.  By default, only the first file is parsed, however the
             RFC tells us to include ALL.  To maintain backwards compatibility, the default only takes the
             FIRST.

           example:

             $mcap = new Mail::Cap;
             $mcap = new Mail::Cap "/mydir/mailcap";
             $mcap = new Mail::Cap filename => "/mydir/mailcap";
             $mcap = new Mail::Cap take => 'ALL';
             $mcap = Mail::Cap->new(take => 'ALL');

   Run commands
       These methods invoke a suitable progam presenting or manipulating the media object in the specified
       file.  They all return 1 if a command was found, and 0 otherwise.  You might test $? for the outcome
       of the command.

       $obj->compose(TYPE, FILE)
       $obj->edit(TYPE, FILE)
       $obj->print(TYPE, FILE)
       $obj->view(TYPE, FILE)

   Command creator
       These methods return a string that is suitable for feeding to system() in order to invoke a suitable
       progam presenting or manipulating the media object in the specified file.  It will return "undef" if
       no suitable specification exists.

       $obj->composeCmd(TYPE, FILE)
       $obj->editCmd(TYPE, FILE)
       $obj->printCmd(TYPE, FILE)
       $obj->viewCmd(TYPE, FILE)

   Look-up definitions
       Methods return the corresponding mailcap field for the type.

       $obj->description(TYPE)
       $obj->field(TYPE, FIELD)
           Returns the specified field for the type.  Returns undef if no specification exsists.

       $obj->nametemplate(TYPE)
       $obj->textualnewlines(TYPE)
       $obj->x11_bitmap(TYPE)
