Net::L...R::SOA(3pm)

πŸ’– Net::LDNS::RR::SOA πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Net::LDNS::RR::SOA β€” the Type SOA record class from the Net::LDNS fam. it's giving DNS royalty, no cap πŸ‘‘


✨ NAME ✨

Net::LDNS::RR::SOA β€” Type SOA record 🌸


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so here's the tea: this is a subclass of Net::LDNS::RR, which means it inherited everything that class has. every single method from Net::LDNS::RR is available on these objects too, on top of the ones we're about to list below. it's basically nepo-baby energy but make it legit β€” the inheritance is real πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ METHODS πŸŽ€

one bullet per method, all of them, in order, exactly as they were handed to me:

  • mname() β€” hands you the master server name. that's the primary name server for the zone, the main character 🫢
  • rname() β€” hands you the contact mail address, except it's written in DNAME format. so like, dots instead of at-signs, the classic DNS glow-up ✨
  • serial() β€” hands you the serial number. it goes up every time the zone changes, it's the zone's little step counter πŸ“ˆ
  • refresh() β€” returns one of the respective timing values from the record. ⏰
  • retry() β€” returns one of the respective timing values from the record. ⏰
  • refresh() β€” returns one of the respective timing values from the record. ⏰
okay so yes, refresh() is listed twice in the original. i'm not fixing it, not merging it, not deleting it. i am simply reporting what the manpage says, fr fr. if you spot a duplicate, that's between you and the upstream author πŸ™ˆ
  • minimum() β€” returns one of the respective timing values from the record. ⏰

🌈 so like, the timing values 🌈

just to be super clear about those last four (refresh(), retry(), refresh(), minimum()): they all return the respective timing values from the record. that's the description, word for word, for each of them. no extra details were given, so i'm not gonna invent any β€” that would be lying to you and you deserve better πŸ’œ


⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

there's no SEE ALSO section in this one bestie, i checked. the whole page is NAME, DESCRIPTION, and METHODS. short and iconic. periodt πŸ’…


πŸ‘‘ the cute sign-off πŸ‘‘

this absolute gem comes from perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-08-19, and it lives under the manual name Net::L...R::SOA(3pm) β€” yeah the title got a lil truncated in the header, we don't talk about it 😭. it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, so shoutout to whoever contributed this Perl module to the world, you ate πŸ”₯

go read your SOA records bestie, they're not gonna query themselves πŸ¦‹πŸ’–
