NAME
MailTools - bundle of ancient email modules
SYNOPSIS
# This is a place-holder for the distribution
DESCRIPTION
MailTools is a bundle: an ancient form of combining packages into one distribution.
Gladly, it can be distributed as if it is a normal distribution as well.
Be warned: The code you find here is very old. It works for simple emails, but when you
start with new code then please use more sofisticated libraries. The main reason that you
still find this code on CPAN, is because many books use it as example.
Component
In this distribution, you find
Mail::Address
Parse email address from a header line.
Mail::Cap
Interpret mailcap files: mappings of file-types to applications as used by many
command-line email programs.
Mail::Field
Simplifies access to (some) email header fields. Used by Mail::Header.
Mail::Filter
Process Mail::Internet messages.
Mail::Header
Collection of Mail::Field objects, representing the header of a Mail::Internet object.
Mail::Internet
Represents a single email message, with header and body.
Mail::Mailer
Send Mail::Internet emails via direct smtp or local MTA's.
Mail::Send
Build a Mail::Internet object, and then send it out using Mail::Mailer.
Mail::Util
"Smart functions" you should not depend on.
SEE ALSO
