Where previously perl-Email-Abstract: one would either have to specify the mail class required, or to build perl-Email-Abstract: a new object from scratch, Email::Abstract can be used to perform perl-Email-Abstract: certain simple operations on an object regardless of its underlying perl-Email-Abstract: representation. perl-Email-Abstract:
