Mail::...Results(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Mail::SpamAssassin::Header::AuthenticationResults — bestie, it's a parser for Authentication-Results headers ✨ (from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, iykyk 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the vibe, literally copy-paste coded:

my $ar = Mail::SpamAssassin::Header::AuthenticationResults->new($hdr_value);
print $ar->authserv_id();    # 'mx.example.com'
print $ar->version();        # 1
my @names = $ar->methods();  # ('spf', 'dkim', ...)
my @results = $ar->method('dkim'); # list of result hashes

like, you feed it a header value and it just gets it 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this class inherits from ParameterHeader, and its whole thing is parsing Authentication-Results header fields per RFC 8601 ⭐

and like, ParameterHeader is already carrying the team on the annoying parts, no cap:

• comment stripping
• semicolon tokenization
• quoted strings
• line unfolding

then this class rolls up and adds the A-R-specific secondary parsing of each method's value string 🔥 like it's the main character of the method-parsing arc, fr fr 👑

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• new($value) — spins up a brand new instance, parsing the given raw header value 🍼✨
• authserv_id() — hands you back the authserv-id (that's the first token of the header value, bestie), all lowercased 💚
• version() — returns the version number (default 1, iconic default behavior 🫶)
• methods() — returns a list of method names that have results 🌈
• method($name) — returns the result(s) for the given method name ✨ Each result is a hash containing "result", "reason", and "properties" 💖 In list context it returns all results; in scalar context it returns just the first one. yes, context matters, it's giving dual personality and we love that for it 💅

ngl bestie, that's the whole page — every option, every detail, nothing skipped, periodt 🧚

cute little sign-off: this gem comes from perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-07-23, and it's filed under Mail::...Results(3pm) (the User Contributed Perl Documentation, ofc 💜). go parse those headers, you're doing amazing sweetie 🍓👑
