Net::DN...:cygwin(3)

👑 NAME 👑

Net::DNS::Resolver::cygwin — the Cygwin resolver class, aka the manual page you're reading rn (it's Net::DN...:cygwin(3) bestie, the title got a little truncated, we don't gatekeep 💅)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

        use Net::DNS::Resolver;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one line. iconic. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this class is the OS-specific girlie of Net::DNS::Resolver — she handles all the Cygwin-flavored bits behind the scenes so you don't have to think about them. lowkey main character energy but off-screen, yk?

no user serviceable parts inside 🫶 — like, fr fr, do not poke around in here. if you actually wanna resolve stuff (you know, the whole point) go see Net::DNS::Resolver, she's got all your resolving needs covered. this one's just the Cygwin backstage crew. 💜

bestie pls don't try to hotwire this module, it's literally not built for that 😭
