💖 NAME 💖

Bestie, welcome to Net::DNS::RR::SPF(3) — this is the DNS SPF resource record, straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. It’s giving DNS-policy realness, and we’re gonna get you comfy with it. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

               use Net::DNS;
               $rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name SPF spfdata ...');

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This class is for DNS Sender Policy Framework (SPF) resource records. Lowkey important: SPF records inherit most of the properties of the Net::DNS::RR::TXT class. So if you already know TXT, you’re literally already vibing. ✨

🎀 METHODS 🎀

The methods you get are the ones inherited from the base class, plus the type-specific methods defined in this package. Periodt.

Using undocumented package features or accessing internal data structures directly? Discouraged, bestie — it could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. 💀 Not the cute kind of surprise.

spfdata

txtdata

The docs list both method names here. The code and context rules below are the ones written for spfdata():

               $string = $rr->spfdata;
               @list   = $rr->spfdata;

               $rr->spfdata( @list );

When you call spfdata() in scalar context, you get the policy text as one single string — text elements are concatenated with no intervening spaces. In a list context, spfdata() returns a list of the text elements. Slay. 💅
