Mail::SRS::DB(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Mail::SRS::DB — a MLDBM based Sender Rewriting Scheme 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

look at her, she's gorgeous:

        use Mail::SRS::DB;
        my $srs = new Mail::SRS::DB(
                Database => '/var/run/srs.db',
                ...
                        );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. instantiate and go 🌸

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so, for the full deets on the standard SRS subclass interface, you're gonna wanna peek at Mail::SRS — she's the blueprint, this one is the glow-up ✨

this module is the one that hands you two methods, and they're literally the whole point:

• compile() — does the compile thing 🎀
• parse() — does the parse thing 🦋

also!! important!! she needs one extra parameter in the constructor — a filename for a Berkeley DB_File database. like the /var/run/srs.db from the synopsis up there. no filename, no database, no SRS. periodt. 💀

---

✨ BUGS ✨

okay so, real talk, nobody's perfect and this module knows it 😭

this code relies on not getting collisions in the cryptographic hash. it can and should be fixed. (not me saying the words "should be fixed" in the actual docs 💀 iconic honesty honestly)

also:

the database is not garbage collected. she just. keeps. growing. 🙈
