Net::DNS::RR::TXT(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is Net::DNS::RR::TXT(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — the page for Net::DNS::RR::TXT, aka the DNS TXT resource record. No cap, that's the whole name vibe. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the code era, bestie — keep it cute and exact:

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

$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new(
                name    => 'name',
                type    => 'TXT',
                txtdata => 'single text string'
                );

$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new(
                name    => 'name',
                type    => 'TXT',
                txtdata => [ 'multiple', 'strings', ... ]
                );

use utf8;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new( 'jp TXT        古池や  蛙飛込む  水の音' );

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is the class for DNS Text (TXT) resource records. literally its whole job. 💅

💅 METHODS 💅

The available methods are those inherited from the base class, augmented by the type-specific methods defined in this package. slay, inheritance.

🚨 bestie warning: use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. Like, do not go poking around in there unless you're ready for chaos. 😭

🎀 txtdata 🎀

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

$rr->txtdata( @list );

When invoked in scalar context, txtdata() returns a concatenation of the descriptive text elements each separated by a single space character.

In a list context, txtdata() returns a list of the text elements. periodt. ✨
