NAME

       Net::DNS::Mailbox - DNS mailbox representation

SYNOPSIS

           use Net::DNS::Mailbox;

           $mailbox = Net::DNS::Mailbox->new('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.

       The Net::DNS::Mailbox1035 and Net::DNS::Mailbox2535 packages implement mailbox
       representation subtypes which provide the name compression and canonicalisation specified
       by RFC1035 and RFC2535.  These are necessary to meet the backward compatibility
       requirements introduced by RFC3597.

METHODS

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