Email::...Internet(3)

πŸ’Œ Email::Abstract::MailInternet β€” bestie, it's a wrapper ✨

So real quick, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, and the whole thing lives at Email::...Internet(3) in the man pages. Grab a snack, we're getting into it πŸ“


🌸 NAME 🌸

Email::Abstract::MailInternet β€” ok so it's an Email::Abstract wrapper for Mail::Internet. That's the whole vibe, that's the name, slay πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ VERSION πŸŽ€

version 3.010 β€” that's the one, no cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so picture this: this module wraps the Mail::Internet mail handling library with an abstract interface, so you can use it with Email::Abstract. It's giving middle-manager energy but like, in a good way β€” it lets the abstract layer talk to Mail::Internet without either of them being weird about it πŸ¦‹

🫢 PERL VERSION 🫢

Lowkey important, so read it twice: 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 πŸ’–

And then the caveat, because there's always a caveat:

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. Like, they're not playing about it 😭
