NAME

       Courriel::Part::Single - A part which does not contain other parts, only content

VERSION

       version 0.29

SYNOPSIS

	 my $headers = $part->headers();
	 my $ct = $part->content_type();

	 my $content = $part->content();
	 print ${$content};

DESCRIPTION

       This class represents a single part that does not contain other parts, just content.

API

       This class provides the following methods:

   Courriel::Part::Single->new( ... )
       This method creates a new part object. It accepts the following parameters:

       o   content

	   This can either be a string or a reference to a scalar. It should be in Perl's native utf-8 encoding and not a byte string.

	   If you pass a reference, then the scalar underlying the reference may be modified, so don't pass in something you don't want modified.

       o   encoded_content

	   This can either be a string or a reference to a scalar.

	   If you pass a reference, then the scalar underlying the reference may be modified, so don't pass in something you don't want modified.

       o   content_type

	   A Courriel::Header::ContentType object. This will default to one with the mime type "text/plain".

       o   disposition

	   A Courriel::Header::Disposition object representing this part's content disposition. This will default to "inline" with no other
	   attributes.

       o   encoding

	   The Content-Transfer-Encoding for this part. This defaults to the value found in the part's headers, or "8bit" if no header is found.

       o   headers

	   A Courriel::Headers object containing headers for this part.

       You must pass a "content" or "encoded_content" value when creating a new part, but there's really no point in passing both.

       It is strongly recommended that you pass a "content" parameter and letting this module do the encoding for you internally.

   $part->content()
       This returns returns the decoded content for the part. It will be in Perl's native utf-8 encoding, decoded from whatever character set the
       content is in.

   $part->encoded_content()
       This returns returns the encoded content for the part.

   $part->mime_type()
       Returns the mime type for this part.

   $part->has_charset()
       Return true if the part has a charset defined. Binary attachments will usually not have this defined.

   $part->charset()
       Returns the charset for this part.

   $part->is_inline(), $part->is_attachment()
       These methods return boolean values based on the part's content disposition.

   $part->filename()
       Returns the filename from the part's content disposition, if any.

   $part->content_type()
       Returns the Courriel::Header::ContentType object for this part.

   $part->disposition()
       Returns the Courriel::Header::Disposition object for this part.

   $part->encoding()
       Returns the encoding for the part.

   $part->headers()
       Returns the Courriel::Headers object for this part.

   $part->is_multipart()
       Returns false.

   $part->container()
       Returns the Courriel or Courriel::Part::Multipart object to which this part belongs, if any. This is set when the part is added to another
       object.

   $part->content_ref()
       This returns returns a reference to a scalar containing the decoded content for the part.

   $part->encoded_content_ref()
       This returns returns a reference to a scalar containing the encoded content for the part, without any decoding.

   $part->as_string()
       Returns the part as a string, along with its headers. Lines will be terminated with "
".

   $part->stream_to( output => $output )
       This method will send the stringified part 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.
