Net::DNS::RR::URI(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Net::DNS::RR::URI — DNS URI resource record. 💅 This is the manual page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? She’s giving “niche but essential Perl module” and we’re obsessed. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Bestie, load it up and build the RR like this:

use Net::DNS;
$rr = Net::DNS::RR->new('name URI priority weight target');

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Class for DNS Service (URI) resource records. That’s the whole vibe. 🫶

---

✨ METHODS ✨

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

⚠️ Okay so real talk: use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour. 💀 Do not go poking around in there.

priority — the “who gets picked first” number 👑

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

The priority of the target URI in this RR. The range of this number is 0-65535. A client MUST attempt to contact the URI with the lowest-numbered priority it can reach; weighted selection being used to distribute load across targets with equal priority. 🎯

weight — server selection, but make it fashion ⚖️

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

A server selection mechanism. The weight field specifies a relative weight for entries with the same priority. Larger weights SHOULD be given a proportionately higher probability of being selected. The range of this number is 0-65535. ✨

target — the actual URI, the main character 🌟

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

The URI of the target. Resolution of the URI is according to the definitions for the Scheme of the URI. 🦋
