Net::DNS is a module for making DNS queries from a Perl script. Here
are the significant new features in version 0.11:
* The ability to create an RR object from a string. Examples:
$a = new Net::DNS::RR("foo.bar.com. 86400 A 10.1.2.3");
$mx = new Net::DNS::RR("bar.com. 7200 MX 10 mailhost.bar.com.");
$cname = new Net::DNS::RR("www.bar.com 300 IN CNAME www1.bar.com");
$txt = new Net::DNS::RR("baz.bar.com 3600 HS TXT 'text record'");
* New functions to ease the creation of dynamic update packets:
$prereq_rr = nxrrset("foo.bar.com. A");
$update_rr = rr_add("foo.bar.com. 86400 A 192.168.1.2");
$prereq_rr = yxdomain("foo.bar.com");
$update_rr = rr_del("foo.bar.com");
See the Net::DNS and Net::DNS::Update manual pages for documentation
and examples.
Net::DNS 0.11 is making its way around CPAN; you can also get it from:
