Mail::Box::Tie::HASH(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Box::Tie::HASH(3pm)
NAME
Mail::Box::Tie::HASH - access an existing message folder as a hash
SYNOPSIS
tie my(%inbox), 'Mail::Box::Tie::HASH', $folder;
foreach my $msgid (keys %inbox)
{ print $inbox{$msgid};
delete $inbox{$msgid};
}
$inbox{$msg->messageId} = $msg;
DESCRIPTION
Certainly when you look at a folder as being a set of related messages based on message-
id, it is logical to access the folder through a hash.
For a tied hash, the message-id is used as the key. The message-id is usually unique, but
when two or more instances of the same message are in the same folder, one will be flagged
for deletion and the other will be returned.
This implementation uses basic folder access routines which are related to the message-id.
METHODS
Constructors
TIEHASH('Mail::Box::Tie::HASH', FOLDER)
Connects the FOLDER object to a HASH.
example:
my $mgr = Mail::Box::Manager->new;
my $folder = $mgr->open(access => 'rw');
tie my(%inbox), 'Mail::Box::Tie::HASH', $folder;
Tied Interface
$obj->CLEAR()
Remove the contents of the hash. This is not really possible, but all the messages
will be flagged for deletion.
example:
%inbox = ();
%inbox = ($msg->messageId, $msg); #before adding msg
$obj->DELETE($message_id)
Remove the message with the specified $message_id.
example:
delete $inbox{$msgid};
$obj->EXISTS($message_id)
Check whether a message with a certain $message_id exists.
example:
if(exists $inbox{$msgid}) ...
$obj->FETCH($message_id)
Get the message with the specified id. The returned message may be a dummy if message
thread detection is used. Returns "undef" when there is no message with the specified
id.
example:
my $msg = $inbox{$msgid};
if($inbox{$msgid}->isDummy) ...
$obj->FIRSTKEY()
See NEXTKEY().
$obj->NEXTKEY($previous)
FIRSTKEY() returns the first message-id/message pair from the folder, and NEXTKEY
returns the message-id/message pair for the next message, in the order in which the
message is stored in the folder.
Messages flagged for deletion will not be returned. See the Mail::Box::messages()
method of the folder type for more information about the folder message order.
example:
foreach my $msgid (keys %inbox) ...
foreach my $msg (values %inbox) ...
while(my ($msgid, $msg) = each %inbox) {
$msg->print unless $msg->isDeleted;
}
$obj->STORE(undef, $message)
Store a message in the folder. The key must be "undef", because the message-id of the
specified message is taken. This is shown in the first example. However, as you see,
it is a bit complicated to specify "undef", therefore the string "undef" is accepted
as well.
The message may be converted into something which can be stored in the folder type
which is at stake. The added instance is returned.
example:
$inbox{ (undef) } = $msg;
$inbox{undef} = $msg;
