NAME
Mail::Message::Field::Fast - one line of a message header
INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Field::Fast
is a Mail::Message::Field
is a Mail::Reporter
SYNOPSIS
See Mail::Message::Field
DESCRIPTION
This is the faster, but less flexible implementation of a header field. The data is
stored in an array, and some hacks are made to speeds things up. Be gentle with me, and
consider that each message contains many of these lines, so speed is very important here.

Mail::Message::Field::Fast->new($data)
The constructor of this object does not follow the usual practise within the Mail::Box
suite: it does not use the constructor Mail::Reporter::new(). Therefor it has no
logging or tracing facilities.
The method can be used in one of the following ways:
• new LINE
Pass a LINE as it could be found in a file: a (possibly folded) line which is
terminated by a new-line.
• new NAME, (BODY|OBJECTS), [ATTRIBUTES]
A set of values which shape the line.
Create a new header field object. Specify the whole LINE at once, and it will be
split-up for you. I case you already have the parts of the header line, you may
specify them separately as NAME and BODY.
In case you specify a single OBJECT, or a reference to an array of OBJECTS, these
objects are processed to become suitable to fill a field, usually by simple
strification. When you specify one or more Mail::Address objects, these are
transformed into a string using their "format" method. You may also add one
Mail::Message::Field, whose body is taken. In case of an array, the elements are
joined into one string with a comma.
ATTRIBUTES can be exactly one string which may contain multiple attributes at once,
quoted and formatted as required in RFC2822. As alternative, list of key-value pairs
can be used. In this case, the values will get quoted if needed and everything
formatted as the protocol demands.

example:
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
'Content-Type' => 'text/plain; charset=US-ASCII');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
'Content-Type' => 'text/plain', 'charset=US-ASCII');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
'Content-Type' => 'text/plain', charset => 'Latin1');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
To => Mail::Address->new('My', 'me@example.com');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
Cc => [ Mail::Address->new('You', 'you@example.com')
, Mail::Address->new('His', 'he@example.com')
]);
But in practice, you can simply call
my $head = Mail::Message::Head->new;
$head->add( 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain'
, charset => 'utf8');
which implicitly calls this constructor (when needed). You can specify the same
things for Mail::Message::Head::Complete::add() as this "new" accepts.

DIAGNOSTICS
Warning: Field content is not numerical: $content
The numeric value of a field is requested (for instance the "Lines" or
"Content-Length" fields should be numerical), however the data contains weird
characters.
Warning: Illegal character in field name $name
A new field is being created which does contain characters not permitted by the RFCs.
Using this field in messages may break other e-mail clients or transfer agents, and
therefore mutulate or extinguish your message.
Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this
method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do
implement this method however the class at hand does not. Probably you should
investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
