NAME
       Mail::SPF::Record - Abstract base class for SPF records
SYNOPSIS
   Creating a record from a string
           use Mail::SPF::v1::Record;
           my $record = Mail::SPF::v1::Record->new_from_string("v=spf1 a mx -all");
   Creating a record synthetically
           use Mail::SPF::v2::Record;
           my $record = Mail::SPF::v2::Record->new(
               scopes      => ['mfrom', 'pra'],
               terms       => [
                   Mail::SPF::Mech::A->new(),
                   Mail::SPF::Mech::MX->new(),
                   Mail::SPF::Mech::All->new(qualifier => '-')
               ],
               global_mods => [
                   Mail::SPF::Mod::Exp->new(domain_spec => 'spf-exp.example.com')
               ]
           );
DESCRIPTION
       Mail::SPF::Record is an abstract base class for SPF records.  It cannot
       be instantiated directly.  Create an instance of a concrete sub-class
       instead.
   Constructor
       The following constructors are provided:
       new(%options): returns Mail::SPF::Record
           Creates a new SPF record object.
           %options is a list of key/value pairs representing any of the
           following options:
           text
               A string denoting the unparsed text of the record.
           scopes
               A reference to an array of strings denoting the scopes that are
               covered by the record (see the description of the "scope"
               option of Mail::SPF::Request's "new" constructor).
           terms
               A reference to an array of Mail::SPF::Term (i.e.
               Mail::SPF::Mech or Mail::SPF::Mod) objects that make up the
               record.  Mail::SPF::GlobalMod objects must not be included
               here, but should be specified using the "global_mods" option
               instead.
           global_mods
               A reference to an array of Mail::SPF::GlobalMod objects that
               are global modifiers of the record.
       new_from_string($text, %options): returns Mail::SPF::Record; throws
       Mail::SPF::ENothingToParse, Mail::SPF::EInvalidRecordVersion,
       Mail::SPF::ESyntaxError
           Creates a new SPF record object by parsing the string and any
           options given.
   Class methods
       The following class methods are provided:
       version_tag_pattern: returns Regexp
           Abstract.  Returns a regular expression that matches a legal
           version tag.
           This method is abstract and must be implemented by sub-classes of
           Mail::SPF::Record.
       default_qualifier: returns string
           Returns the default qualifier, i.e. '+'.
       results_by_qualifier: returns hash of string
           Returns a reference to a hash that maps qualifiers to result codes
           as follows:
                Qualifier | Result code
               -----------+-------------
                    +     | pass
                    -     | fail
                    ~     | softfail
                    ?     | neutral
   Instance methods
       The following instance methods are provided:
       text: returns string; throws Mail::SPF::ENoUnparsedText
           Returns the unparsed text of the record.  Throws a
           Mail::SPF::ENoUnparsedText exception if the record was created
           synthetically instead of being parsed, and no text was provided.
       version_tag: returns string
           Abstract.  Returns the version tag of the record.
           This method is abstract and must be implemented by sub-classes of
           Mail::SPF::Record.
       scopes: returns list of string
           Returns a list of the scopes that are covered by the record.  See
           the description of the "new" constructor's "scopes" option.
       terms: returns list of Mail::SPF::Term
           Returns a list of the terms that make up the record, excluding any
           global modifiers, which are returned by the "global_mods" method.
           See the description of the "new" constructor's "terms" option.
       global_mods: returns list of Mail::SPF::GlobalMod
           Returns a list of the global modifiers of the record, ordered
           ascending by modifier precedence.  See the description of the "new"
           constructor's "global_mods" option.
       global_mod($mod_name): returns Mail::SPF::GlobalMod
           Returns the global modifier of the given name if it is present in
           the record.  Returns undef otherwise.  Use this method if you wish
           to retrieve a specific global modifier as opposed to getting all of
           them.
       stringify: returns string
           Returns the record's version tag and terms (including the global
           modifiers) formatted as a string.  You can simply use a
           Mail::SPF::Record object as a string for the same effect, see
           "OVERLOADING".
       eval($server, $request): throws Mail::SPF::Result
           Evaluates the SPF record in the context of the request parameters
           represented by the given Mail::SPF::Request object.  The given
           Mail::SPF::Server object is used for performing DNS look-ups.
           Throws a Mail::SPF::Result object matching the outcome of the
           evaluation; see Mail::SPF::Result.  See RFC 4408, 4.6 and 4.7, for
           the exact algorithm used.
OVERLOADING
       If a Mail::SPF::Record object is used as a string, the "stringify"
       method is used to convert the object into a string.
