NAME
       Email::MIME::ContentType - Parse a MIME Content-Type Header


VERSION
       version 1.017


SYNOPSIS
         use Email::MIME::ContentType;

         # Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
         my $ct = 'text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed';
         my $data = parse_content_type($ct);

         $data = {
           type       => "text",
           subtype    => "plain",
           attributes => {
             charset => "us-ascii",
             format  => "flowed"
           }
         };


FUNCTIONS
   parse_content_type
       This routine is exported by default.

       This routine parses email content type headers according to section 5.1 of RFC 2045. It returns a hash as
       above, with entries for the type, the subtype, and a hash of attributes.

       For backward compatibility with a really unfortunate misunderstanding of RFC 2045 by the early
       implementors of this module, "discrete" and "composite" are also present in the returned hashref, with
       the values of "type" and "subtype" respectively.


WARNINGS
       This is not a valid content-type header, according to both RFC 1521 and RFC 2045:

         Content-Type: type/subtype;

       If a semicolon appears, a parameter must.  "parse_content_type" will carp if it encounters a header of
       this type, but you can suppress this by setting $Email::MIME::ContentType::STRICT_PARAMS to a false
       value.  Please consider localizing this assignment!
