NAME

       Net::DNS::Mailbox - DNS mailbox representation

SYNOPSIS

           use Net::DNS::Mailbox;

           $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('user@example.com');
           $address = $mailbox->address;

DESCRIPTION

       The Net::DNS::Mailbox module implements a subclass of DNS domain name objects representing
       the DNS coded form of RFC822 mailbox address.

METHODS

   new
           $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('John Doe <john.doe@example.com>');
           $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('john.doe@example.com');
           $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('john\.doe.example.com');

       Creates a mailbox object representing the RFC822 mail address specified by the character
       string argument. An encoded domain name is also accepted for backward compatibility with
       Net::DNS 0.68 and earlier.

       The argument string consists of printable characters from the 7-bit ASCII repertoire.

   address
           $address = $mailbox->address;

       Returns a character string containing the RFC822 mailbox address corresponding to the
       encoded domain name representation described in RFC1035 section 8.

DOMAIN NAME COMPRESSION AND CANONICALISATION

       The Net::DNS::Mailbox1035 and Net::DNS::Mailbox2535 subclass packages implement RFC1035
       domain name compression and RFC2535 canonicalisation.
