NAME

MIME::BodyMunger - rewrite the content of text parts, minding charset

VERSION

version 0.007

SYNOPSIS

MIME::BodyMunger->rewrite_content(
  $mime_entity,
  sub {
    my ($body_ref) = @_;
    $$body_ref =~ s/zig/zag/;
  },
);

DESCRIPTION

MIME::BodyMunger provides methods for rewriting text parts. These methods take care of character sets for you so that you can treat everything like text instead of worrying about content transfer encoding or character set encoding.

At present, only MIME::Entity messages can be handled. Other types will be added in the future.

PERL VERSION

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

METHODS

rewrite_content

MIME::BodyMunger->rewrite_content($message, sub { ... });

This method uses the given callback to rewrite the content (body) of the message. It decodes the content (using Content-Transfer-Encoding and the Content-Type charset (or ISO-8859-1, if none is given)) and provides a reference to the character string to the coderef. If the content is altered, the body will be re-encoded into the original charset and the message will be updated.

The callback is invoked like this:

$code->(\$content, $message);

In the future, there should be an option to re-encode to an alternate charset.

rewrite_lines

MIME::BodyMunger->rewrite_lines($message, sub { ... });

This method behaves like rewrite_content, but the callback is invoked once per line, like this:

local $_ = $line;
$code->($message);

If any line is changed, the entire body will be reencoded and updated.
