dateheader - RFC2822-compliant "Date:" header with current gmtime

  use dateheader;
  ...
  print MESSAGEHANDLE <<EOF;
$dateheader
From: Automated Customer Support <ACS@example.net>
To: $Firstname $Lastname <$email_address>
Subject: resolution of ticket number $ticketnumber

... EOF

Ties a scalar called $dateheader to the dateheader module. This scalar, when stringified, gives a RFC2822(section 3.3) compliant "Date:" header.

${caller().'dateheader'} gets tied to the dateheader package by the import function.

0.0

A tied dateheader variable appeared in early versions of TipJar::MTA::queue

1.0

We're now doing the tieing within the module, so use dateheader gives you the $dateheader variable, ready to interpolate. We're also going back to using time zone -0000, which is correct according to the RFC, but might not be universally understood by broken MUA software which needs to be fixed.
