💖 Mail::SPF::Mech::IP6 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Mail::SPF::Mech::IP6, living in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual. yes the header up there gets all chopped off, that's just your terminal being dramatic, it's giving main character energy 💅. anyway. sit down, hydrate, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

Mail::SPF::Mech::IP6 — the SPF record "ip6" mechanism class. that's it, that's the name, slay 🎀

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 3.20260331 — yes queen, fresh date, we love to see it ⭐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so, an object of class Mail::SPF::Mech::IP6 represents an SPF record mechanism of type "ip6". that's the whole vibe. it's the class that knows what an ip6 mechanism is and how to behave when it sees one 💜

💫 Constructors

the following constructors are provided, periodt:

  • new(%options): returns Mail::SPF::Mech::IP6 — creates a brand new SPF record "ip6" mechanism object. new object, who dis ✨
    • %options is a list of key/value pairs representing any of the following options:
      • qualifier
      • ip_network
      • (both of these? see "new" in Mail::SPF::Mech for the deets, i'm not repeating her whole lore here 🫶)
  • new_from_string($text, %options): returns Mail::SPF::Mech::IP6; throws Mail::SPF::ENothingToParse, Mail::SPF::EInvalidMech — makes a new SPF record "ip6" mechanism object by parsing the string and any options you hand it. and yes, it will throw if you feed it nonsense, no cap 😭

👑 Class methods

the following class methods are provided:

  • default_qualifier
  • default_ipv6_prefix_length
  • qualifier_pattern
  • (all three of these are documented over at "Class methods" in Mail::SPF::Mech, go say hi 🌈)

and also:

  • name: returns string — returns 'ip6'. iconic. literally just 'ip6'.
  • name_pattern: returns Regexp — returns a regular expression that matches a mechanism name of 'ip6'. matching queen 💅

🧚 Instance methods

the following instance methods are provided:

  • text
  • qualifier
  • params
  • stringify
  • (again, all of these live at "Instance methods" in Mail::SPF::Mech, that's where the full story is 💖)

and then the ones that are actually hers:

  • ip_network: returns NetAddr::IP — returns the IP address network parameter of the mechanism. that's the whole thing, she's serving network parameter 🌸
  • match($server, $request): returns boolean — returns true if the mechanism's ip_network equals or contains the given request's IP address, or false otherwise. fr fr. for the details, see RFC 4408, 5.6 ⭐
