💜 Net::DNS::RR::PX — DNS PX resource record

Okay bestie, so this is the Net::DNS::RR::PX page — a User Contributed Perl Documentation moment, brought to you by the Perl fam 🫶. Pull up a chair, we're talking about the PX record type and it's honestly more fun than it sounds.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Net::DNS;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name PX preference map822 mapx400');

That's it, that's the whole vibe. Two lines and you're living your best DNS life 💅.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is the class for DNS X.400 Mail Mapping Information (PX) resource records. Think of it as the little record that knows how to translate between two different mail worlds. Iconic behavior, no cap ✨

🌸 METHODS 🌸

So here's the tea 🍓: the methods you get are the ones inherited from the base class, plus the type-specific methods this package defines. Best of both worlds, honestly.

⚠️ Quick warning, bestie: using undocumented package features or reaching directly into internal data structures is discouraged — and by "discouraged" I mean it could straight-up terminate your program or cause other unpredictable behaviour 😭💀. Don't do it. Just don't. Protect your peace.

🎀 preference

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

A 16 bit integer that says how much this RR is preferred over the other RRs sitting at the same owner 👑. Lower values are preferred — yes, lowercase numbers are the main characters here, that's just how it works.

🧚 map822

$map822 = $rr->map822;
$rr->map822( $map822 );

A domain name element holding <rfc822-domain> — aka the RFC822 part of the MIXER Conformant Global Address Mapping 🦋. She's the vibe translator on the RFC822 side.

🌈 mapx400

$mapx400 = $rr->mapx400;
$rr->mapx400( $mapx400 );

A <domain-name> element containing the value of <x400-in-domain-syntax>, which is derived from the X.400 part of the MIXER Conformant Global Address Mapping 🌟. Same energy, X.400 edition.
