Email 3.0.0 (Default branch)
04-06-2008
Email sends email to remote SMTP servers via the command line, which makes it useful in cron jobs. It will send to any RFC standard remote ESMTP server, and will allow you to encrypt, sign, and design your message on the fly. It has the capability to use signature files with dynamic options, address book functionality, and users can also attach pictures, binary files, documents, or whatever they want. It is completely compatible with GNUPG for encryption and signing, and is easy to configure and use. License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:|

Email::Date(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Email::Date(3pm) NAME
Email::Date - Find and Format Date Headers SYNOPSIS
use Email::Date; my $email = join '', <>; my $date = find_date($email); print $date->ymd; my $header = format_date($date->epoch); Email::Simple->create( header => [ Date => $header, ], body => '...', ); DESCRIPTION
RFC 2822 defines the "Date:" header. It declares the header a required part of an email message. The syntax for date headers is clearly laid out. Stil, even a perfectly planned world has storms. The truth is, many programs get it wrong. Very wrong. Or, they don't include a "Date:" header at all. This often forces you to look elsewhere for the date, and hoping to find something. For this reason, the tedious process of looking for a valid date has been encapsulated in this software. Further, the process of creating RFC compliant date strings is also found in this software. FUNCTIONS find_date my $time_piece = find_date $email; "find_date" accepts an email message in any format Email::Abstract can understand. It looks through the email message and finds a date, converting it to a Time::Piece object. If it can't find a date, it returns false. "find_date" is exported by default. format_date my $date = format_date; # now my $date = format_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago "format_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by "time". It returns a string representing the date and time of the input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the current value of "time" is used. "format_date" is exported by default. format_gmdate my $date = format_gmdate; "format_gmdate" is identical to "format_date", but it will return a string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than local time. "format_gmdate" is exported on demand, but not by default. PERL EMAIL PROJECT
