Hi,
I was looking for a module which shows the structure of a MIME message
without decoding it. MIME::Structure seemed to perfectly fit the bill. But
there is a limitation which might be a design decision, but it renders this
module useless for many cases - it does not drill down into message/rfc822
content types and show its innards.
For e.g if message structure is consisting of plain text and an image, the
call to parse method of MIME::Structure shows parts as text/plain and
image/gif
But if this message is forwarded with a covering note then parse on that
message would return - text/plain and message/rfc822. It should also show
text/plain and image/gif.
This is a great module and being lighter than many others it would be very
useful provided this limitation is taken care of.
Is the description good enough? Or was the limitation a design decision?
