Mail::Message::TransferEnc - message transfer encoder/decoder
Mail::Message::TransferEnc is a Mail::Reporter Mail::Message::TransferEnc is extended by Mail::Message::TransferEnc::Base64 Mail::Message::TransferEnc::Binary Mail::Message::TransferEnc::EightBit Mail::Message::TransferEnc::QuotedPrint Mail::Message::TransferEnc::SevenBit
my Mail::Message $msg = ...; my $decoded = $msg->decoded; my $encoded = $msg->encode(transfer => 'base64');
This class is the base for various encoders and decoders, which are used during transport of the message. This packages, and all which are derived, are invoked by the message's Mail::Message::decoded() and Mail::Message::encode() methods:
my $message = $folder->message(3); my $decoded_body = $message->decoded; my $encoded_body = $message->encode(transfer => 'base64');
The following coders/decoders are currently available:
Mail::Message::TransferEnc::Base64
base64 for binary information.
base64
Mail::Message::TransferEnc::SevenBit
7bit for plain old ASCII characters only.
7bit
Mail::Message::TransferEnc::EightBit
8bit for extended character set data, not encoded.
8bit
Mail::Message::TransferEnc::QuotedPrint
quoted-printable encdoded extended character set data.
quoted-printable
Mail::Message::TransferEnc->new(OPTIONS)
See "Constructors" in Mail::Reporter
Mail::Message::TransferEnc->addTransferEncoder(TYPE, CLASS)
Adds one new encoder to the list known by the Mail::Box suite. The TYPE is found in the message's header in the Content-Transfer-Encoding field.
Content-Transfer-Encoding
$obj->create(TYPE, OPTIONS)
Create a new coder/decoder based on the required type.
$obj->name
The name of the encoder. Case is not significant.
$obj->check(BODY, OPTIONS)
Check whether the body is correctly encoded. If so, the body reference is returned with the checked flag set. Otherwise, a new object is created and returned.
checked
Option Defined in Default result_type <type of source body>
. result_type CLASS
The type of the body to be produced, when the checker decides to return modified data.
$obj->decode(BODY [, OPTIONS])
Use the encoder to decode the content of BODY. A new body is returned.
The type of the body to be produced, when the decoder decides to return modified data.
$obj->encode(BODY, OPTIONS)
Use the encoder to encode the content of BODY.

Error: Decoder for transfer encoding $type does not work: $@
Compiling the required transfer encoding resulted in errors, which means that the decoder can not be used.
Warning: No decoder for transfer encoding $type.
A decoder for the specified type of transfer encoding is not implemented.
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.
