NAME Email::MIME::Creator - Email::MIME constructor for starting anew. SYNOPSIS use Email::MIME; use Email::MIME::Creator; use IO::All; # multipart message my @parts = ( Email::MIME->create( attributes => { filename => "report.pdf", content_type => "application/pdf", encoding => "quoted-printable", name => "2004-financials.pdf", }, body => io( "2004-financials.pdf" )->slurp, ), Email::MIME->create( attributes => { content_type => "text/plain", disposition => "attachment", charset => "US-ASCII", }, body => "Hello there!", ), ); my $email = Email::MIME->create( header => [ From => 'casey@geeknest.com' ], parts => [ @parts ], ); # nesting parts $email->parts_set( [ $email->parts, Email::MIME->create( parts => [ @parts ] ), ], ); # standard modifications $email->header_set( 'X-PoweredBy' => 'RT v3.0' ); $email->header_set( To => rcpts() ); $email->header_set( Cc => aux_rcpts() ); $email->header_set( Bcc => sekrit_rcpts() ); # more advanced $_->encoding_set( 'base64' ) for $email->parts; print $email->as_string; *rcpts = *aux_rcpts = *sekrit_rcpts = sub { 'you@example.com' }; DESCRIPTION Methods create my $single = Email::MIME->create( headers => [ ... ], attributes => { ... }, body => '...', ); my $multi = Email::MIME->create( headers => [ ... ], attributes => { ... }, parts => [ ... ], ); This method creates a new MIME part. The "header" parameter is a lis of headers to include in the message. "attributes" is a hash of MIME attributes to assign to the part, and may override portions of the header set in the "header" parameter. The "parts" parameter is a list reference containing "Email::MIME" objects. "parts" takes precedence over "body", which will set this part's body if assigned. So, multi part messages shold use the "parts" parameter and single part messages should use "body". Back to "attributes". The hash keys correspond directly to methods or modifying a message from "Email::MIME::Modifier". The allowed keys are: content_type, charset, name, format, boundary, encoding, disposition, and filename. They will be mapped to "$attr\_set" for message modification.
