Email::MIME::Kit::Role::ManifestDesugarer3pm

Version

version 3.000008

Perl version

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

Implementing

This role also performs Email::MIME::Kit::Role::Component.

This is a role more likely to be consumed than implemented. It wraps "around" the "read_manifest" method in the consuming class, and "desugars" the contents of the loaded manifest before returning it.

At present, desugaring is what allows the "type" attribute in attachments and alternatives to be given instead of a "content_type" entry in the "attributes" entry. In other words, desugaring turns:

  {
    header => [ ... ],
    type   => 'text/plain',
  }

Into:

  {
    header => [ ... ],
    attributes => { content_type => 'text/plain' },
  }

More behavior may be added to the desugarer later.
