Mime CurrentDateTime

The CurrentDateTime property is provide as a convenient way of getting the current date/time in RFC822 format, which is often needed for the MIME Date header field.

It is not actually a property of the MIME object. It simply returns the current date/time of the system.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Chilkat2;

my $success = 0;

my $mime = Chilkat2::Mime->new;
$mime->SetBody('this is a test');
$mime->ContentType('text/plain');

# The CurrentDateTime property is just a convenient way of
# get the current date/time in RFC 822 format.  It saves us
# the trouble of looking elsewhere for this common need.
$mime->SetHeaderField('Date', $mime->CurrentDateTime);

print $mime->GetMime(), "\n";

# The result:

#     Content-Type: text/plain
#     Date: Sat, 01 Oct 2016 10:18:49 -0500

#     this is a test
