package MIME::Words; =head1 NAME MIME::Words - deal with RFC-1522 encoded words =head1 SYNOPSIS Before reading further, you should see L to make sure that you understand where this module fits into the grand scheme of things. Go on, do it now. I'll wait. Ready? Ok... use MIME::Words qw(:all); ### Decode the string into another string, forgetting the charsets: $decoded = decode_mimewords( 'To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= ', ); ### Split string into array of decoded [DATA,CHARSET] pairs: @decoded = decode_mimewords( 'To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= ', ); ### Encode a single unsafe word: $encoded = encode_mimeword("\xABFran\xE7ois\xBB"); ### Encode a string, trying to find the unsafe words inside it: $encoded = encode_mimewords("Me and \xABFran\xE7ois\xBB in town"); =head1 DESCRIPTION Fellow Americans, you probably won't know what the hell this module is for. Europeans, Russians, et al, you probably do. C<:-)>. For example, here's a valid MIME header you might get: From: =?US-ASCII?Q?Keith_Moore?= To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= CC: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Andr=E9_?= Pirard Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGNhbiByZWFkIHRoaXMgeW8=?= =?ISO-8859-2?B?dSB1bmRlcnN0YW5kIHRoZSBleGFtcGxlLg==?= =?US-ASCII?Q?.._cool!?= The fields basically decode to (sorry, I can only approximate the Latin characters with 7 bit sequences /o and 'e): From: Keith Moore To: Keld J/orn Simonsen CC: Andr'e Pirard Subject: If you can read this you understand the example... cool! =head1 PUBLIC INTERFACE =over 4 =cut require 5.001; ### Pragmas: use strict; use vars qw($VERSION @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS @ISA); ### Exporting: use Exporter; %EXPORT_TAGS = (all => [qw(decode_mimewords encode_mimeword encode_mimewords )]); Exporter::export_ok_tags('all'); ### Inheritance: @ISA = qw(Exporter); ### Other modules: use MIME::Base64; use MIME::QuotedPrint; #------------------------------ # # Globals... # #------------------------------ ### The package version, both in 1.23 style *and* usable by MakeMaker: $VERSION = substr q$Revision: 1.1 $, 10; ### Nonprintables (controls + x7F + 8bit): my $NONPRINT = "\\x00-\\x1F\\x7F-\\xFF"; #------------------------------ # _decode_Q STRING # Private: used by _decode_header() to decode "Q" encoding, which is # almost, but not exactly, quoted-printable. :-P sub _decode_Q { my $str = shift; $str =~ s/_/\x20/g; # RFC-1522, Q rule 2 $str =~ s/=([\da-fA-F]{2})/pack("C", hex($1))/ge; # RFC-1522, Q rule 1 $str; } # _encode_Q STRING # Private: used by _encode_header() to decode "Q" encoding, which is # almost, but not exactly, quoted-printable. :-P sub _encode_Q { my $str = shift; $str =~ s{([_\?\=$NONPRINT])}{sprintf("=%02X", ord($1))}eog; $str; } # _decode_B STRING # Private: used by _decode_header() to decode "B" encoding. sub _decode_B { my $str = shift; decode_base64($str); } # _encode_B STRING # Private: used by _decode_header() to decode "B" encoding. sub _encode_B { my $str = shift; encode_base64($str, ''); } #------------------------------ =item decode_mimewords ENCODED, [OPTS...] I Go through the string looking for RFC-1522-style "Q" (quoted-printable, sort of) or "B" (base64) encoding, and decode them. B splits the ENCODED string into a list of decoded C<[DATA, CHARSET]> pairs, and returns that list. Unencoded data are returned in a 1-element array C<[DATA]>, giving an effective CHARSET of C. $enc = '=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= '; foreach (decode_mimewords($enc)) { print "", ($_[1] || 'US-ASCII'), ": ", $_[0], "\n"; } B joins the "data" elements of the above list together, and returns that. I and probably I what you want, but if you know that all charsets in the ENCODED string are identical, it might be useful to you. (Before you use this, please see L, which is probably what you want.) In the event of a syntax error, $@ will be set to a description of the error, but parsing will continue as best as possible (so as to get I back when decoding headers). $@ will be false if no error was detected. Any arguments past the ENCODED string are taken to define a hash of options: =over 4 =item Field Name of the mail field this string came from.
