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.
