Mail::Mbox::MessageParser - A fast and simple mbox folder reader
Mail::Mbox::MessageParser is a feature-poor but very fast mbox parser. It uses
the best of three strategies for parsing a mailbox: either using cached folder
information, GNU grep, or highly optimized Perl.
NEW IN THIS VERSION
Version 1.4005: Thu Aug 24 2006
- Fixed a bug where emails with a line near the end that start with "From "
would cause the Grep implementation to go into an infinite loop.
- Fixed some minor coding style issues.
MODULE DEPENDENCIES
To use this module, you will need to install:
- FileHandle::Unget
- Storable: required if you want to use caching
- GNU grep(1): required if you want to use grep support
- bzip2(1): required if you want to use bzip and bzip2 support
- bzip(1): required if you want to use bzip support
You should be prompted to install modules automatically when you run "perl
Makefile.PL".
INSTALLATION
To install this package, change to the directory where you unarchived this
distribution and type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
You can install this package into a non-default location by appending one of
the following to the "perl Makefile.PL" command:
- "PREFIX=/installation/path" (for installation into a custom location),
- "INSTALLDIRS=site" (for installation into site-specific Perl directories)
- "INSTALLDIRS=perl" (for installation into standard Perl directories).
You will be prompted for program locations. You can suppress these prompts by
appending the path to one or more external programs to the "perl Makefile.PL"
command. For example, "GREP=/gnu/bin/grep GZIP=/gnu/bin/gzip BZIP=
BZIP2=/bin/bzip2" would set values for all but one program. "BZIP=" disables
compression support and prevents interactive execution. (NOTE: These values
are not validated as they are in the interactive query.)
If you make the installation into your own directory, then remember that you
must tell perl where to search for modules before trying to 'use' them. For
example:
use lib '/home/userid/lib';
use Mail::Mbox::MessageParser;
If make test fails, please see the INSTALLATION PROBLEMS section below.
INSTALLATION PROBLEMS
If "make test" fails, run
make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
and see which test(s) are failing. Please email, to the address below, the
*.testoutput and *.testoutput.diff files for the test, which are located in
t/temp.
For other bugs, see the section REPORTING BUGS below.
DOCUMENTATION
Just "perldoc Mail::Mbox::MessageParser". After installation on Unix systems,
you can also do "man Mail::Mbox::MessageParser". If you are interested in the
Cache, Grep, or Perl implementations, you can do the same for
Mail::Mbox::MessageParser::Cache, Mail::Mbox::MessageParser::Grep. and
Mail::Mbox::MessageParser::Perl
HOMEPAGE
Visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/m-m-msgparser/ for the latest version,
mailing lists, discussion forums, CVS access, and more.
REPORTING BUGS
You can report bugs by filing a bug report at the project homepage. Please
attach the output files noted above. If the bug is related to processing of a
particular mailbox, try to trim the mailbox to the smallest set of emails that
still exhibit the problem. Then use the "anonymize_mailbox" program that
comes with the distribution to remove any sensitive information, and attach
the mailbox to the bug report.
