💌 Email::Abstract::EmailMIME — bestie edition, section 3 of the manual 💌

okay so real quick, the page header up top is this whole Email::...ailMIME(3) thing (she's serving "User Contributed Perl Documentation", very demure, very cpan-coded) — but the full name, the actual government name, is Email::Abstract::EmailMIME, and that's what we're talking about today 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Email::Abstract::EmailMIME — it's the Email::Abstract wrapper for Email::MIME. that's the whole thing. that's her job. 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 3.010 — yes queen, we're on 3.010 ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this module wraps the Email::MIME mail handling library in an abstract interface, and the reason is so you can use it with Email::Abstract. like, Email::MIME is the main character doing all the actual mail-handling work, and this module is the little adapter that lets Email::Abstract vibe with her. it's giving middle-manager energy but in the good way, iykyk 💖

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

okay important note: this library should run on perls released even a long time ago. like, ancient. grandma perl. she's seen things. 👵

it should work on any version of perl released in the last five years — that's the promise, no cap.

although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. and bestie, listen: the version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. so like… don't come for her about backwards compat, she's not doing that today 🙈

fr fr, read that twice. "may be increased for any reason" and "no promise patches will be accepted to lower" — both of those are the actual words, don't @ me 💀
