NAME
       Net::DNS::RR - DNS Resource Record base class
SYNOPSIS
           use Net::DNS;
           $rr = new Net::DNS::RR('example.com IN A 192.0.2.99');
           $rr = new Net::DNS::RR(
                   name    => 'example.com',
                   type    => 'A',
                   address => '192.0.2.99'
                   );
DESCRIPTION
       Net::DNS::RR is the base class for DNS Resource Record (RR) objects.
       See also the manual pages for each specific RR type.
METHODS
       WARNING!!!  Do not assume the RR objects you receive from a query are
       of a particular type -- always check the object type before calling any
       of its methods.  If you call an unknown method, you will get an error
       message and execution will be terminated.
   new (from string)
           $a     = new Net::DNS::RR('host.example.com. 86400 A 192.0.2.1');
           $mx    = new Net::DNS::RR('example.com. 7200 MX 10 mailhost.example.com.');
           $cname = new Net::DNS::RR('www.example.com 300 IN CNAME host.example.com');
           $txt   = new Net::DNS::RR('txt.example.com 3600 HS TXT "text data"');
       Returns an RR object of the appropriate type, or a "Net::DNS::RR"
       object if the type is not implemented.   The attribute values are
       extracted from the string passed by the user.  The syntax of the
       argument string follows the RFC1035 specification for zone files, and
       is compatible with the result returned by the string method.
       The name and RR type are required; all other information is optional.
       If omitted, the TTL defaults to 0 and the RR class defaults to IN.
       Omitting the optional fields is useful for creating the empty RDATA
       sections required for certain dynamic update operations.  See the
       "Net::DNS::Update" manual page for additional examples.
       All names are interpreted as fully qualified domain names.  The
       trailing dot (.) is optional.
       RR owner names in in-addr.arpa or ip6.arpa namespaces may be specified
       using appropriate RFC4291 or RFC4632 IP address/prefix notation.
   new (from hash)
           $rr = new Net::DNS::RR(
                   name    => 'host.example.com',
                   ttl     => 86400,
                   class   => 'IN',
                   type    => 'A',
                   address => '192.0.2.1'
                   );
           $rr = new Net::DNS::RR(
                   name    => 'txt.example.com',
                   type    => 'TXT',
                   txtdata => [ 'one', 'two' ]
                   );
       Returns an RR object of the appropriate type, or a "Net::DNS::RR"
       object if the type is not implemented.   See the manual pages for each
       RR type to see what fields the type requires.
       The "name" and "type" fields are required; all others are optional.  If
       omitted, "ttl" defaults to 0 and "class" defaults to IN.  Omitting the
       optional fields is useful for creating the empty RDATA sections
       required for certain dynamic update operations.
   decode
           ( $rr, $next ) = decode Net::DNS::RR( \$data, $offset, @opaque );
       Decodes a DNS resource record at the specified location within a DNS
       packet.
       The argument list consists of a reference to the buffer containing the
       packet data and offset indicating where resource record begins.
       Remaining arguments, if any, are passed as opaque data to subordinate
       decoders.
       Returns a "Net::DNS::RR" object and the offset of the next record in
       the packet.
       An exception is raised if the data buffer contains insufficient or
       corrupt data.
       Any remaining arguments are passed as opaque data to subordinate
       decoders and do not form part of the published interface.
   encode
           $data = $rr->encode( $offset, @opaque );
       Returns the "Net::DNS::RR" in binary format suitable for inclusion in a
       DNS packet buffer.
       The offset indicates the intended location within the packet data where
       the "Net::DNS::RR" is to be stored.
       Any remaining arguments are opaque data which are passed intact to
       subordinate encoders.
   canonical
           $data = $rr->canonical;
       Returns the "Net::DNS::RR" in canonical binary format suitable for
       DNSSEC signature validation.
       The absence of the associative array argument signals to subordinate
       encoders that the canonical uncompressed lower case form of embedded
       domain names is to be used.
   name
           $name = $rr->name;
       Returns the owner name of the record.
   type
           $type = $rr->type;
       Returns the record type.
   class
           $class = $rr->class;
       Resource record class.
   ttl
           $ttl = $rr->ttl;
           $ttl = $rr->ttl(3600);
       Resource record time to live in seconds.
   rdata
           $rr = new Net::DNS::RR( type => NULL, rdata => 'arbitrary' );
       Resource record data section when viewed as opaque octets.
   print
           $rr->print;
       Prints the record to the standard output.  Calls the string method to
       get the RR string representation.
   string
           print $rr->string, "\n";
       Returns a string representation of the RR using the zone file format
       described in RFC1035.  All domain names are fully qualified with
       trailing dot.  This differs from RR attribute methods, which omit the
       trailing dot.
   rdstring
           $rdstring = $rr->rdstring;
       Returns a string representation of the RR-specific data.
Sorting of RR arrays
       Sorting of RR arrays is done by Net::DNS::rrsort(), see documentation
       for Net::DNS. This package provides class methods to set the sorting
       functions used for a particular RR based on its attributes.
   set_rrsort_func
           Net::DNS::RR::SRV->set_rrsort_func('priority',
                                      sub {
                                          my ($a,$b)=($Net::DNS::a,$Net::DNS::b);
                                          $a->priority <=> $b->priority
                                          ||
                                          $b->weight <=> $a->weight
                            }
           Net::DNS::RR::SRV->set_rrsort_func('default_sort',
                                      sub {
                                          my ($a,$b)=($Net::DNS::a,$Net::DNS::b);
                                          $a->priority <=> $b->priority
                                          ||
                                          $b->weight <=> $a->weight
                            }
       set_rrsort_func needs to be called as a class method. The first
       argument is the attribute name on which the sorting will need to take
       place. If you specify "default_sort" then that is the sort algorithm
       that will be used in the case that rrsort() is called without an RR
       attribute as argument.
       The second argument is a reference to a comparison function that uses
       the global variables $a and $b in the "from Net::DNS"(!!)package.
       During sorting, the variables $a and $b will contain references to
       objects of the class from which you called the set_prop_sort. In other
       words, you can rest assured that the above sorting function will only
       be applied to Net::DNS::RR::SRV objects.
       The above example is the sorting function implemented in SRV.
