Net::DN...R::DNAME(3)

💅 NAME 💅

Okay so bestie, listen — this page is from the Net::DNS docs, and it's all about Net::DNS::RR::DNAME, aka a DNS DNAME resource record. That's the whole vibe. One class, one job, iconic behaviour.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Like, the absolute bare minimum to get you going:

use Net::DNS;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name DNAME target');

That's it. That's the whole entrance. 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This class is for DNS Non-Terminal Name Redirection (DNAME) resource records. That's the name, that's the game, no notes. 💅

---

🦋 METHODS 🦋

So here's the thing — the methods you get are the ones inherited from the base class, plus the type-specific ones defined right here in this package. You're getting the whole inheritance situation, not just the lone-wolf stuff. 🫶

⚠️ Okay, real talk: using undocumented package features or reaching directly into internal data structures is discouraged — and when they say discouraged they mean it could literally result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. So like... don't. No cap. 💀

💜 target

$target = $rr->target;
$rr->target( $target );

This is the redirection target domain name — the one that gets substituted for its owner as a suffix of a domain name. It's giving "swap in the new ending" energy. ✨
