💌 NAME 💌

Email::LocalDelivery — delivering a piece of email, but make it simple ✨

So the manual page here is like, Email:...livery(3pm) — that's the truncated header vibe, iykyk — and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world. Bestie, let's get into it. 🫶

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.201 — that's the one, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here's the whole entire vibe in two lines, obsessed:

use Email::LocalDelivery;
my @delivered_to = Email::LocalDelivery->deliver($mail, @boxes);

Like. That's it. That's the whole thing. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module delivers an email to a list of mailboxes. Periodt. That's the job. 💖

Achtung! 🚨 Lowkey listen to me though — you might genuinely be better off looking at Email::Sender, and at Email::Sender::Transport::Maildir and Email::Sender::Transport::Mbox. Those are heavily used and more carefully monitored. This one? Not so much. Just saying. 🙈

💀 PERL VERSION 💀

Not me having to tell you this, but: this code is effectively abandonware. 💀 Like, fr fr.

Releases will sometimes happen — but only to update contact info or fix packaging flaws. That's it. Bug reports will mostly be ignored. Feature requests are even more likely to be ignored. (And if someone ever does take up maintenance of this code, they will presumably remove this notice — so, y'know, it might vanish one day. 👀)

Which means: whatever version of perl is currently required is unlikely to change — but also it might change at any new maintainer's whim. Both things are true. Slay. 🌈

🧚 METHODS 🧚

💅 deliver

This takes an email — as a plain string, bestie, a string — plus a list of mailboxes to deliver that mail to.

It returns the list of boxes actually written to. 📬

And if no boxes are given at all? It just assumes the standard Unix mailbox. Which is one of these:

  • $ENV{MAIL}
  • /var/spool/mail/you
  • /var/mail/you
  • ~you/Maildir/

Main character energy from a default, honestly. 👑
