# MIME::Field::ConTraEnc - phpMan

## NAME
    [MIME::Field::ConTraEnc] - a "Content-transfer-encoding" field

## DESCRIPTION
    A subclass of [Mail::Field].

    *Don't use this class directly... its name may change in the future!*
    Instead, ask [Mail::Field] for new instances based on the field name!

## SYNOPSIS
        use [Mail::Field];
        use [MIME::Head];

        # Create an instance from some text:
        $field = [Mail::Field]->new('Content-transfer-encoding', '7bit');

        # Get the encoding.
        #    Possible values: 'binary', '7bit', '8bit', 'quoted-printable',
        #    'base64' and '' (unspecified).  Note that there can't be a
        #    single default for this, since it depends on the content type!
        $encoding = $field->encoding;
