✨ Mail::AuthenticationResults 💖

okay bestie, so this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your man pages (yes the title up there is all truncated like Mail::A...nResults(3), that's just the man page header doing its lil thing, the real name is Mail::AuthenticationResults and it's giving Object Oriented Authentication-Results Headers 👑).

🌸 NAME 🌸

Mail::AuthenticationResults — Object Oriented Authentication-Results Headers 🦋

💅 VERSION 💅

version 2.20250709 ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Object Oriented Authentication-Results email headers, fr fr.

So this parser copes with most styles of Authentication-Results header seen in the wild, but heads up — it is not yet fully RFC7601 compliant. not me being honest about my own limitations, growth honestly 💀

🌈 Differences from RFC7601 🌈

  • key/value pairs are parsed when present in the authserv-id section — this is against RFC but has been seen in headers added by Yahoo!. iykyk, the wild internet is feral 🫠
  • Comments added between key/value pairs will be added after them in the data structures and when stringified. so like, they show up after the pairs, not where you'd expect. iconic behaviour, honestly ✨

🧚 METHODS 🧚

⭐ new()

Return a new Mail::AuthenticationResults object 💖 she's fresh, she's new, she's ready to parse.

⭐ parser()

Returns a new Mail::AuthenticationResults::Parser object for the supplied $auth_results header. hand it your header, get a parser back. slay 🌸
