NAME
       Email::MIME::ContentType - Parse a MIME Content-Type Header

VERSION
       version 1.013

SYNOPSIS
         use Email::MIME::ContentType;

         # Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
         my $ct = 'text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed';
         my $data = parse_content_type($ct);

         $data = {
           discrete   => "text",
           composite  => "plain",
           attributes => {
             charset => "us-ascii",
             format  => "flowed"
           }
         };

FUNCTIONS
   parse_content_type
       This routine is exported by default.

       This routine parses email content type headers according to section 5.1 of RFC 2045. It returns a hash as above, with
       entries for the discrete type, the composite type, and a hash of attributes.

WARNINGS
       This is not a valid content-type header, according to both RFC 1521 and RFC 2045:

         Content-Type: type/subtype;

       If a semicolon appears, a parameter must.  "parse_content_type" will carp if it encounters a header of this type, but you
       can suppress this by setting $Email::MIME::ContentType::STRICT_PARAMS to a false value.  Please consider localizing this
       assignment!
