Mail::Field::Generic - implementation for inspecific fields

 Mail::Field::Generic
   is a Mail::Field

 use Mail::Field;
 my $field = Mail::Field->new('Subject', 'some subject text');
 my $field = Mail::Field->new(subject => 'some subject text');

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.

Extends "METHODS" in Mail::Field.

Extends "Constructors" in Mail::Field.

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

This module is part of the MailTools distribution, http://perl.overmeer.net/mailtools/.

The MailTools bundle was developed by Graham Barr. Later, Mark Overmeer took over maintenance without commitment to further development.
