Mail::Field::Generic(3)                        User Contributed Perl Documentation                       Mail::Field::Generic(3)



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.

DETAILS
DIAGNOSTICS
       Error: Undefined subroutine <method> called

           Mail::Field objects use autoloading to compile new functionality.  Apparently, the mehod called is not implemented
           for the specific class of the field object.
