is a Mail::Message::Field
is a Mail::Reporter
DESCRIPTION
This is the flexible implementation of a field: it can easily be
extended because it stores its data in a hash and the constructor
("new") and initializer ("init") are split. However, you pay the price
in performance. Mail::Message::Field::Fast is faster (as the name
predicts).

METHODS
Constructors
$obj->clone
See "Constructors" in Mail::Message::Field
Mail::Message::Field::Flex->new(DATA)
If you stick to this flexible class of header fields, you have a
bit more facilities than with Mail::Message::Field::Fast. Amongst
it, you can specify options with the creation. Possible arguments:
· new LINE
ass 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], OPTIONS
A set of values which shape the line.
To be able to distinguish the different parameters, you will have
to specify the OPTIONS as ARRAY of option pairs, or HASH of
options. The ATTRIBUTES are a flat list of key-value pairs. The
body is specified as one BODY string, one OBJECT, or a reference to
an array of OBJECTS. See Mail::Message::Field:
-Option--Defined in --Default
attributes []
comment undef
log Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS'
trace Mail::Reporter 'WARNINGS'
attributes => ATTRS
Reference to array with list of key-value pairs representing
attributes, or reference to a hash containing these pairs. This
is an alternative notation for specifying ATTRIBUTES directly as
method arguments.
comment => STRING
A pre-formatted list of attributes.
log => LEVEL
trace => LEVEL

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.
