Constructor

new

 Mail::Builder::Address->new(EMAIL[,DISPLAY NAME[,COMMENT]]);

Simple constructor

Public Methods

serialize

Prints the address as required for creating the e-mail header.

compare

 $obj->compare(OBJECT);
 or
 $obj->compare(E-MAIL);

Checks if two address objects contain the same e-mail address. Returns true or false. The compare method does not check if the address names of the two objects are identical.

Instead of a Mail::Builder::Address object you can also pass a scalar value representing the e-mail address.

Accessors

name

Display name

email

E-mail address. Will be checked with Email::Valid Email::Valid options may be changed by setting the appropriate values in the %Mail::Builder::TypeConstraints::EMAILVALID hash.

Eg. if you want to disable the check for valid TLDs you can set the 'tldcheck' option (without dashes 'tldcheck' and not '-tldcheck'):

 $Mail::Builder::TypeConstraints::EMAILVALID{tldcheck} = 0;
