MIME::Words is a Perl module to deal with RFC-1522 encoded words.

SYNOPSIS

Before reading further, you should see MIME::Tools to make sure that you understand where this module fits into the grand scheme of things. Go on, do it now. Ill wait.

Ready? Ok...

use MIME::Words qw(:all);

### Decode the string into another string, forgetting the charsets:
$decoded = decode_mimewords(
To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= ,
);

### Split string into array of decoded [DATA,CHARSET] pairs:
@decoded = decode_mimewords(
To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= ,
);

### Encode a single unsafe word:
$encoded = encode_mimeword("xABFranxE7oisxBB");

### Encode a string, trying to find the unsafe words inside it:
$encoded = encode_mimewords("Me and xABFranxE7oisxBB in town");

Fellow Americans, you probably wont know what the hell this module is for. Europeans, Russians, et al, you probably do.

For example, heres a valid MIME header you might get:

From: =?US-ASCII?Q?Keith_Moore?= < moore@cs.utk.edu>
To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?= < keld@dkuug.dk>
CC: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Andr=E9_?= Pirard < PIRARD@vm1.ulg.ac.be>
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGNhbiByZWFkIHRoaXMgeW8=?=
=?ISO-8859-2?B?dSB1bmRlcnN0YW5kIHRoZSBleGFtcGxlLg==?=
=?US-ASCII?Q?.._cool!?=

The fields basically decode to (sorry, I can only approximate the Latin characters with 7 bit sequences /o and e):

From: Keith Moore < moore@cs.utk.edu>
To: Keld J/orn Simonsen < keld@dkuug.dk>
CC: Andre Pirard < PIRARD@vm1.ulg.ac.be>
Subject: If you can read this you understand the example... cool!
