Email::Simple::Header(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Email::Simple::Header(3pm)

NAME
Email::Simple::Header - the header of an Email::Simple message SYNOPSIS
my $email = Email::Simple->new($text); my $header = $email->head; print $header->as_string; DESCRIPTION
This method implements the headers of an Email::Simple object. It is a very minimal interface, and is mostly for private consumption at the moment. METHODS
new my $header = Email::Simple::Header->new($head, \%arg); $head is a string containing a valid email header, or a reference to such a string. If a reference is passed in, don't expect that it won't be altered. Valid arguments are: crlf - the header's newline; defaults to CRLF as_string my $string = $header->as_string(\%arg); This returns a stringified version of the header. header_names This method returns the unique header names found in this header, in no particular order. header_pairs This method returns all the field/value pairs in the header, in the order that they appear in the header. header my $first_value = $header->header($field); my @all_values = $header->header($field); This method returns the value or values of the given header field. If the named field does not appear in the header, this method returns false. header_set $header->header_set($field => @values); This method updates the value of the given header. Existing headers have their values set in place. Additional headers are added at the end. If no values are given to set, the header will be removed from to the message entirely. crlf This method returns the newline string used in the header. PERL EMAIL PROJECT
