Net::DNS::RR::RP(3)

✨ Net::DNS::RR::RP 💅

Okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Net::DNS::RR::RP(3) — like, the whole page, from perl to the copyright notice. Sit down, grab a strawberry snack 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Net::DNS::RR::RP — the DNS RP (Responsible Person) resource record. It's giving "who do I email about this domain" energy, and honestly? Iconic. 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

        use Net::DNS;
        $rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name RP mbox txtdname');

That's the whole vibe: you load Net::DNS, then you make a shiny new object with that string and it hands you an RP record. Slay.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this class is for DNS Responsible Person (RP) resource records. Fr fr, that's it — it's the class that knows how to be an RP record. Nothing sketchy, no cap. ✨

---

🔥 METHODS 🔥

The methods you get are the ones inherited from the base class, plus the type-specific ones that live right here in this package. Best of both worlds, honestly.

⚠️ Heads up bestie: using undocumented package features or reaching directly into the internal data structures is not the move — it's discouraged, and it could literally result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. Like, don't. 😭

💜 mbox 💜

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

A domain name that specifies the mailbox for the person responsible for this domain. 🫶

The format in master files uses the DNS encoding convention for mailboxes — identical to the one used for the RNAME mailbox field in the SOA RR. And if there's no mailbox available? You can specify the root domain name (just .) to say "nope, no mailbox here." Easy.

🧚 txtdname 🧚

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

A domain name identifying TXT RRs. The idea: you can do a subsequent query to retrieve the associated TXT records. It's a level of indirection, so the same entity can be referred to from multiple places in the DNS. Very main character energy. 🌈

And same deal as before — the root domain name (just .) may be specified to indicate that there is no associated TXT RR.
