Dpkg::Email::Address(3perl)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Bestie, meet Dpkg::Email::Address — the libdpkg-perl class that manages an email address 💌 (yes, the same kind of email address that shows up in deb822(5) data 👀).

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so picture this: it hands you a whole class whose entire main-character job is managing an email address 🎀 — specifically the kind that lives inside deb822(5) data. That's it, that's the vibe. Lowkey iconic 💅.

---

🦋 FUNCTIONS 🦋

• $regex = REGEX() — gimme the regex, and it returns the regex that's used to parse and validate an email address 🔍. Ngl, it matches two parts: the name and the email. Periodt.

---

💖 METHODS 💖

• $addr = Dpkg::Email::Address->new($string) — creates a shiny new object that can hold an email address ✨. New object, who dis 🫶.
• $name = $addr->name([$name]) — gets the email address name, and if you pass $name it also sets it 💫. Returns the current name, or the new one if you just set it.
• $email = $addr->email([$email]) — same energy, but for the email part of the email address 📧. Gets it, optionally sets it with $email, and returns the current or new email.
• $bool = $addr->parse($string) — parses $string straight into the current object, replacing whatever address was already sitting there 🔄. Heads up though: it will die on parse errors 💀 — dramatic, but fair.
• $string = $addr->as_string() — returns the email address all formatted up as a string 🎀. Glow-up complete.
• $hashref = $addr->as_struct() — returns the email address as a hashref with name and email keys 🗂️. Struct-pilled.
