Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper - strip the attachments from an email
version 1.316
my $stripper = Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper->new($mail); my $msg = $stripper->message; my @attachments = $stripper->attachments;
Given a Email::MIME object, detach all attachments from the message and make them available separately.
The message you're left with might still be multipart, but it should only be multipart/alternative or multipart/related.
Given this message:
+ multipart/mixed - text/plain - application/pdf; disposition=attachment
The PDF will be stripped. Whether the returned message is a single text/plain part or a multipart/mixed message with only the text/plain part remaining in it is not yet guaranteed one way or the other.
my $stripper = Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper->new($email, %args);
The constructor may be passed an Email::MIME object, a reference to a string, or any other value that Email::Abstract (if available) can cast to an Email::MIME object.
Valid arguments include:
force_filename - try harder to get a filename, making one up if necessary
my $email_mime = $stripper->message;
This returns the message with all the attachments detached. This will alter both the body and the header of the message.
my @attachments = $stripper->attachments;
This returns a list of all the attachments we found in the message, as a hash of { filename, content_type, payload }.
This may contain parts that might not normally be considered attachments, like text/html or multipart/alternative.
