Net::DNS::RR::GPOS(3)

🎀 Net::DNS::RR::GPOS(3) — your fave little manual page, bestie

okay so this is the perl manual page for Net::DNS::RR::GPOS(3) — yes that's the manual name, and yes you're gonna read it and you're gonna understand it. it's giving "geography class but make it DNS" 🌍✨

✨ NAME ✨

Net::DNS::RR::GPOS — the DNS GPOS resource record 💅

like, literally the class for Geographical Position records. that's the vibe.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Net::DNS;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name GPOS latitude longitude altitude');

that's it. that's the whole flex. one line and you've got a position record, periodt. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, this is the class for DNS Geographical Position (GPOS) resource records. that's the whole description. no cap, that's genuinely it — it's a short one and we love that for us. 🫶

💜 METHODS 💜

so the tea on methods is this: everything you get is inherited from the base class, augmented by the type-specific methods defined right here in this package. so like, base class methods are the main character, and these three are the guest stars. ⭐

⚠️ okay listen — using undocumented package features, or poking directly at the internal data structures, is actively discouraged. the manpage says it could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. so like… don't. i'm not even being dramatic, that's a direct quote of the consequences. 😭💀

🌈 latitude

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

floating-point representation of latitude, in degrees. get it? set it? both? both. slay. 🧚

🌈 longitude

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

floating-point representation of longitude, in degrees. same energy, different axis. iconic. 💫

🌈 altitude

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

floating-point representation of altitude, in metres. yes metres, keep that in mind, we're being metric about it. 📏
