The latest release of the "MIME-parser" package has been uploaded to the
CPAN under my author id (ERYQ) and name (Eryq).

Current version:        1.13

Major changes:          Now tolerates header fields where the ":" is
                       followed by zero or more characters of linear
                       whitespace (not tolerating them was a bug).

NAME

   MIME-parser - family of MIME:: modules for parsing MIME messages

DESCRIPTION

   MIME-parser is a collection of Perl5 MIME:: modules for parsing
   and decoding single- or multipart (even nested multipart!) MIME
   messages.

SYNOPSIS

   You start by creating an instance of MIME::Parser, and setting up
   certain parsing parameters: what directory to save extracted files
   to, how to name the files, etc.

   You then give that instance a readable filehandle on which waits a
   MIME message.  If all goes well, you will get back a MIME::Entity
   object, consisting of a MIME::Head (which holds the MIME header
   data) and the name of the file in which the (decoded) body has been
   stored.

   If the original message was a multipart document, the MIME::Entity
   object will have a non-empty list of "parts", each of which is in
   turn a MIME::Entity (which might also be a multipart entity, etc,
   etc...).

   Internally, MIME::Parser asks for instances of MIME::Decoder
   whenever it needs to decode an encoded file.  MIME::Decoder has
   a mapping from supported encodings (e.g., 'base64') to classes
   whose instances can decode them.  You can add to this mapping
   to try out new/experimental encodings.  You can also use
   MIME::Decoder by itself.
