- Net::DNS is a collection of Perl modules to interface with
- the Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the
- programmer to perform queries that are beyond the
- capabilities of gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.
-
- Resolver Objects
-
- A resolver object is an instance of the Net::DNS::Resolver
- class. A program can have multiple resolver objects, each
- maintaining its own state information such as the
- nameservers to be queried, whether recursion is desired,
- etc.
-
- Packet Objects
-
- Net::DNS::Resolver queries return Net::DNS::Packet
- objects. Packet objects have five sections:
-
- o The header section, a Net::DNS::Header object.
-
- o The question section, a list of Net::DNS::Question
- objects.
-
- o The answer section, a list of Net::DNS::RR objects.
-
- o The authority section, a list of Net::DNS::RR objects.
-
- o The additional section, a list of Net::DNS::RR objects.
-
- Header Objects
-
- Net::DNS::Header objects represent the header section of a
- DNS packet.
-
- Question Objects
-
- Net::DNS::Question objects represent the query section of
- a DNS packet.
-
- RR Objects
-
- Net::DNS::RR is the base class for DNS resource record
- (RR) objects in the answer, authority, and additional
- sections of a DNS packet.
