NAME¶
Net::DNS::RR::TXT - DNS TXT resource record
SYNOPSIS¶
"use Net::DNS::RR";
DESCRIPTION¶
Class for DNS Text (TXT) resource records.
METHODS¶
txtdata¶
print "txtdata = ", $rr->txtdata, "\n";
Returns the descriptive text as a single string, regardless of actual number of
<character-string> elements. Of questionable value. Should be
deprecated.
Use "$txt->rdatastr()" or "$txt->char_str_list()"
instead.
char_str_list¶
print "Individual <character-string> list: \n\t",
join("\n\t", $rr->char_str_list());
Returns a list of the individual <character-string> elements, as unquoted
strings. Used by TXT->rdatastr and TXT->rr_rdata.
NB: rdatastr will return quoted strings.
FEATURES¶
The RR.pm module accepts semi-colons as a start of a comment. This is to allow
the RR.pm to deal with RFC1035 specified zonefile format.
For some applications of the TXT RR the semicolon is relevant, you will need to
escape it on input.
Also note that you should specify the several character strings separately. The
easiest way to do so is to include the whole argument in single quotes and the
several character strings in double quotes. Double quotes inside the character
strings will need to be escaped.
my $TXTrr=Net::DNS::RR->new('txt2.t.net-dns.org. 60 IN TXT "Test1
\" \; more stuff" "Test2"');
would result in $TXTrr->
char_str_list())[0] containing 'Test1 "
; more stuff' and $TXTrr->
char_str_list())[1] containing 'Test2'
Note that the rdatastr method (and therefore the print, and string method)
returns the escaped format.
