NAME¶
Mail::Field::Generic - implementation for inspecific fields
INHERITANCE¶
Mail::Field::Generic
is a Mail::Field
SYNOPSIS¶
use Mail::Field;
my $field = Mail::Field->new('Subject', 'some subject text');
my $field = Mail::Field->new(subject => 'some subject text');
DESCRIPTION¶
A generic implementation for header fields without own implementation. This is
fine for fields like "Subject", "X-Mailer", etc., where
the field holds only a string of no particular importance/format.

DIAGNOSTICS¶
- Error: Undefined subroutine <method> called
- Mail::Field objects use autoloading to compile new functionality.
Apparently, the method called is not implemented for the specific class of
the field object.
