The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: MIME::Multipart::ParseSimple
DSLIP: adpO2
description: simple multipart parser, maintains doc order
userid: JIMI (Jimi Carlo Wills)
chapterid: 19 (Mail_and_Usenet_News)
communities:
comp.lang.perl.modules
similar:
MIME::Parse
rationale:
I have a requirement for knowing the part order, and I can't find
another parser that keeps the order (because they're all in a hash
keyed on content-disposition). Also, they all write the files out to
tmp, which I don't want (and can't guarantee will work on every
target).
So instead of that, I parse into an array. This is returned (by
reference) from a parse() method, which accepts a filehandle as its
argument. Each item of the list corresponds to a MIME header and is
a hash of header items, with the first corresponding to the
multipart header and including Preable and Epilog if present. The
content of each part is keyed as "Body" and any header parameters
(e.g. boundary) are parsed into hashed and keyed as
"<Header-Name>.params".
E.g., the boundary itself would be at:
$returned_listref->[0]->{"Content-Type.params"}->{boundary}
I do nothing to parse/decode the actual content.
This module is pure for my own needs, but I figure I might as well
share it. Somebody might find it interesting.
