NAME
       Net::DNS::Update - Create a DNS update packet
SYNOPSIS
           use Net::DNS::Update;
           $update = Net::DNS::Update->new;
           $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com', 'IN');
           $update->push(prerequisite => nxrrset('foo.example.com. A'));
           $update->push(update => rr_add('foo.example.com. 86400 A 192.168.1.2'));
DESCRIPTION
       "Net::DNS::Update" is a subclass of "Net::DNS::Packet", to be used for
       making DNS dynamic updates.  Programmers should refer to RFC 2136 for
       the semantics of dynamic updates.
METHODS
   new
           $update = Net::DNS::Update->new;
           $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
           $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com', 'HS');
       Returns a "Net::DNS::Update" object used to perform a DNS dynamic
       update operation.  Specifically, it creates a packet with the header
       opcode set to UPDATE and zone qtype to SOA (per RFC 2136, 2.3).
       Programs must use the "push" method to add RRs to the prerequisite,
       update, and additional sections before performing the update.
       Arguments are the zone name and the class.  If the zone is omitted, the
       default domain will be taken from the resolver configuration.  If the
       class is omitted, it defaults to IN.
       Future versions of "Net::DNS" may provide a simpler interface for
       making dynamic updates.
EXAMPLES
       The first example below shows a complete program; subsequent examples
       show only the creation of the update packet.
   Add a new host
           #!/usr/bin/perl -w
           use strict;
           use Net::DNS;
           # Create the update packet.
           my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
           # Prerequisite is that no A records exist for the name.
           $update->push(prerequisite => nxrrset('foo.example.com. A'));
           # Add two A records for the name.
           $update->push(update => rr_add('foo.example.com. 86400 A 192.168.1.2'));
           $update->push(update => rr_add('foo.example.com. 86400 A 172.16.3.4'));
           # Send the update to the zone's primary master.
           my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;
           $res->nameservers('primary-master.example.com');
           my $reply = $res->send($update);
           # Did it work?
           if ($reply) {
               my $rcode = $reply->header->rcode;
               print 'Update ', $rcode eq 'NOERROR' ? "succeeded\n" : "failed: $rcode\n";
           } else {
               print 'Update failed: ', $res->errorstring, "\n";
           }
   Add an MX record for a name that already exists
           my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
           $update->push(prerequisite => yxdomain('example.com'));
           $update->push(update       => rr_add('example.com MX 10 mailhost.example.com'));
   Add a TXT record for a name that doesn't exist
           my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
           $update->push(prerequisite => nxdomain('info.example.com'));
           $update->push(update       => rr_add('info.example.com TXT "yabba dabba doo"'));
   Delete all A records for a name
           my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
           $update->push(prerequisite => yxrrset('foo.example.com A'));
           $update->push(update       => rr_del('foo.example.com A'));
   Delete all RRs for a name
           my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
           $update->push(prerequisite => yxdomain('byebye.example.com'));
           $update->push(update       => rr_del('byebye.example.com'));
   Perform a signed update
           my $key_name = 'tsig-key';
           my $key_data = 'awwLOtRfpGE+rRKF2+DEiw==';
           my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
           $update->push(update => rr_add('foo.example.com A 10.1.2.3'));
           $update->push(update => rr_add('bar.example.com A 10.4.5.6'));
           $update->sign_tsig($key_name, $key_data);
   Another way to perform a signed update
           my $key_name = 'tsig-key';
           my $key_data = 'awwLOtRfpGE+rRKF2+DEiw==';
           my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
           $update->push(update     => rr_add('foo.example.com A 10.1.2.3'));
           $update->push(update     => rr_add('bar.example.com A 10.4.5.6'));
           $update->push(additional => Net::DNS::RR->new("$key_name TSIG $key_data"));
   Perform a signed update with a customized TSIG record
           my $key_name = 'tsig-key';
           my $key_data = 'awwLOtRfpGE+rRKF2+DEiw==';
           my $tsig = Net::DNS::RR->new("$key_name TSIG $key_data");
           $tsig->fudge(60);
           my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new('example.com');
           $update->push(update     => rr_add('foo.example.com A 10.1.2.3'));
           $update->push(update     => rr_add('bar.example.com A 10.4.5.6'));
           $update->push(additional => $tsig);
