# Mail::Field::Generic - phpMan

## NAME
    [Mail::Field::Generic] - implementation for inspecific fields

## INHERITANCE
     [Mail::Field::Generic]
       is a [Mail::Field]

## SYNOPSIS
     use [Mail::Field];
     my $field = [Mail::Field]->new('Subject', 'some subject text');
     my $field = [Mail::Field]->new(subject => 'some subject text');

## DESCRIPTION
    A generic implementation for header fields without own implementation.

        class of the field object.
