NAME

6       Net::DNS::RR::TXT - DNS TXT resource record
7

SYNOPSIS

9       "use Net::DNS::RR";
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Class for DNS Text (TXT) resource records.
13

METHODS

15   txtdata
16           print "txtdata = ", $rr->txtdata, "\n";
17
18       Returns the descriptive text as a single string, regardless of actual
19       number of <character-string> elements.  Of questionable value.  Should
20       be deprecated.
21
22       Use "$txt->rdatastr()" or "$txt->char_str_list()" instead.
23
24   char_str_list
25        print "Individual <character-string> list: \n\t",
26              join("\n\t", $rr->char_str_list());
27
28       Returns a list of the individual <character-string> elements, as
29       unquoted strings.  Used by TXT->rdatastr and TXT->rr_rdata.

FEATURES

32       The RR.pm module accepts semi-colons as a start of a comment. This is
33       to allow the RR.pm to deal with RFC1035 specified zonefile format.
34
35       For some applications of the TXT RR the semicolon is relevant, you will
36       need to escape it on input.
37
38       Also note that you should specify the several character strings
39       separately. The easiest way to do so is to include the whole argument
40       in single quotes and the several character strings in double quotes.
41       Double quotes inside the character strings will need to be escaped.
42
43       my $TXTrr=Net::DNS::RR->new('txt2.t.net-dns.org.  60   IN      TXT
44       "Test1 \" \; more stuff"  "Test2"');
45
46       would result in $TXTrr->char_str_list())[0] containing 'Test1 " ; more
47       stuff' and $TXTrr->char_str_list())[1] containing 'Test2'
