Zonema...RR::MX(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is Zonemaster::LDNS::RR::MX β€” the Type MX record πŸ’Œ (yes, MX as in mail exchanger, the little DNS record that tells everyone where to send your emails). It lives in the Zonemaster corner of the Perl world, and it's documented under the manual 3pm (User Contributed Perl Documentation) vibe. πŸŽ€


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea β˜• β€” Zonemaster::LDNS::RR::MX is a subclass of Zonemaster::LDNS::RR, which literally means it inherits everything from that parent class. So every single method Zonemaster::LDNS::RR has? you got it. all of it. it's giving nepo baby but in a good way πŸ’…

On top of all that inherited goodness, this class also has its own methods, which are documented right below. those are the ones that make it specifically an MX. πŸ¦‹


πŸ’– METHODS πŸ’–

  • exchange() β€” returns the name of the mail server. like, the actual host that's gonna catch all your mail. πŸ“¬
  • preference() β€” returns the preference value of the record. (that's the number that says "hey, try me first" β€” lower numbers get prioritized, iykyk πŸ‘‘)

not me documenting two whole methods and feeling like a main character 😭 but fr fr, those two are the whole personality of an MX record. exchange() = who, preference() = how much do we love them. periodt. πŸ’œ

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫢 this was perl v5.42.3, generated on 2026-08-19, straight from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection β€” thank you for coming to my TED talk, slay, go resolve some mail servers responsibly βœ¨πŸŒˆπŸ’–
