NAME
Mail::Message::Field::Fast - one line of a message header
INHERITANCE
Mail::Message::Field::Fast
is a Mail::Message::Field
is a Mail::Reporter
SYNOPSIS
See Mail::Message::Field
DESCRIPTION
This is the faster, but less flexible implementation of a header field. The data is stored in an array,
and some hacks are made to speeds things up. Be gentle with me, and consider that each message contains
many of these lines, so speed is very important here.

Mail::Message::Field::Fast->new($data)
The constructor of this object does not follow the usual practise within the Mail::Box suite: it does
not use the constructor Mail::Reporter::new(). Therefor it has no logging or tracing facilities.
The method can be used in one of the following ways:
• new LINE
Pass 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]
A set of values which shape the line.
Create a new header field object. Specify the whole LINE at once, and it will be split-up for you.
I case you already have the parts of the header line, you may specify them separately as NAME and
BODY.
In case you specify a single OBJECT, or a reference to an array of OBJECTS, these objects are
processed to become suitable to fill a field, usually by simple strification. When you specify one
or more Mail::Address objects, these are transformed into a string using their "format" method. You
may also add one Mail::Message::Field, whose body is taken. In case of an array, the elements are
joined into one string with a comma.
ATTRIBUTES can be exactly one string which may contain multiple attributes at once, quoted and
formatted as required in RFC2822. As alternative, list of key-value pairs can be used. In this
case, the values will get quoted if needed and everything formatted as the protocol demands.

example:
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
'Content-Type' => 'text/plain; charset=US-ASCII');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
'Content-Type' => 'text/plain', 'charset=US-ASCII');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
'Content-Type' => 'text/plain', charset => 'Latin1');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
To => Mail::Address->new('My', 'me@example.com');
my $mime = Mail::Message::Field->new(
Cc => [ Mail::Address->new('You', 'you@example.com')
, Mail::Address->new('His', 'he@example.com')
]);
But in practice, you can simply call
my $head = Mail::Message::Head->new;
$head->add( 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain'
, charset => 'utf8');
which implicitly calls this constructor (when needed). You can specify the same things for
Mail::Message::Head::Complete::add() as this "new" accepts.

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.
Error: Field name too long (max $length), in '$name'
It is not specified in the RFCs how long a field name can be, but at least it should be a few
characters shorter than the line wrap.
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.
