=head1 NAME
Mail::Box::Tie - access an existing message-folder as an array or hash
=head1 SYNOPSIS
As an array:
use Mail::Box::Tie;
tie my(@inbox), Mail::Box::Tie::ARRAY => $folder;
tie my(@inbox), Mail::Box::Tie => $folder; # deprecated
print $inbox[3];
or as hash:
tie my(%inbox), Mail::Box::Tie::HASH => $folder;
tie my(%inbox), Mail::Box::Tie => $folder; # deprecated
print $inbox{'<12379.124879@example.com>'};
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The use of C<Mail::Box::Tie> is B<deprecated>, because it is succeeded by two
separate modules: L<Mail::Box::Tie::ARRAY|Mail::Box::Tie::ARRAY> and L<Mail::Box::Tie::HASH|Mail::Box::Tie::HASH>.
However, this module still works.
Folders certainly look like an array of messages, so why not just
access them as one? Or, the order is not important, but the
message-ids are (give relations): why not access them from a hash
based on this message-id? Programs using one of these ties will
look simpler than programs using the more traditional method calls.
