NAME

Mail::Action::Address - roles applicable to individual addresses

SYNOPSIS

use Mail::Action::Address;

use Class::Roles
    does => 'address_expires',
    does => 'address_named',
    does => 'address_described';

DESCRIPTION

Most Mail::Action users operate around the idea of unique, lightweight e-mail addresses, whether unique names within a subdomain, uniquely keyed variants of a single address, or some combination of the two.

This class defines certain behavior and data storage features of those addresses. Use Class::Roles to add these features to your own Address classes.

ROLES

address_expires

Allows Address instances to have an optional expiration date. This adds two method to the class to which you apply it:

expires( $timestring )

Gets and sets the time at which this Address will expire. Set this time in a simple text string, such as 7d2h. Valid time units are:

  • m, for minute. This is sixty (60) seconds.

  • h, for hour. This is sixty (60) minutes.

  • d, for day. This is twenty-four (24) hours.

  • w, for week. This is seven (7) days.

  • M, for month. This is thirty (30) days.

    The returned time is in epoch seconds.

* process_time( $timestring )

Turns a $timestring into the number of seconds it represents.

address_named

Allows Address instances to have a name. This adds one method to the class to which you apply it:

name( $name )

Gets and sets the name associated with this Address. This method strips the name of all non-alphanumeric characters, including spaces and punctuation.

address_described

Allows Address instances to have a one-sentence description. This adds one method to the class to which you apply it:

description( $description )

Gets and sets the description of this Address. This will return the empty string if there is no description.
