Net::DNS::RR::PTR(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Net::DNS::RR::PTR - DNS PTR resource record

Okay bestie, you're on the Net::DNS::RR::PTR(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation — and yes, it's giving DNS PTR resource record energy. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Like, here's the whole summoning ritual:

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

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This is the class for DNS Pointer (PTR) resource records. That's it, that's the vibe. 🦋

🦋 METHODS 🦋

The available methods are those inherited from the base class, plus the type-specific methods defined in this package. So you get the base-class goodies and the PTR-specific ones. Slay. ✨

⚠️ Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. So, bestie, do not go poking around in there — that's a no from me. 💀

🌸 ptrdname 🌸

Here's the call shape, exactly:

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

A domain name which points to some location in the domain name space. Iconic little pointer behavior, no cap. 🎀
