NAME
       Net::DNS::DomainName - DNS domain name wire representation
SYNOPSIS
           use Net::DNS::DomainName;
           $object = new Net::DNS::DomainName('example.com');
           $name = $object->name;
           $data = $object->encode;
           ( $object, $next ) = decode Net::DNS::DomainName( \$data, $offset );
DESCRIPTION
       The Net::DNS::DomainName module implements the concrete representation
       of DNS domain names used within DNS packets.
       Net::DNS::DomainName defines methods for encoding and decoding wire
       format octet strings as defined in RFC1035. All other behaviour,
       including the new() constructor, is inherited from Net::DNS::Domain.
       The Net::DNS::DomainName1035 and Net::DNS::DomainName2535 packages
       implement disjoint domain name subtypes which provide the name
       compression and canonicalisation specified by RFC1035 and RFC2535.
       These are necessary to meet the backward compatibility requirements
       introduced by RFC3597.
METHODS
   new
           $object = new Net::DNS::DomainName('example.com');
       Creates a domain name object which identifies the domain specified by
       the character string argument.
   decode
           $object = decode Net::DNS::DomainName( \$buffer, $offset, $hash );
           ( $object, $next ) = decode Net::DNS::DomainName( \$buffer, $offset, $hash );
       Creates a domain name object which represents the DNS domain name
       identified by the wire-format data at the indicated offset within the
       data buffer.
       The argument list consists of a reference to a scalar containing the
       wire-format data and specified offset. The optional reference to a hash
       table provides improved efficiency of decoding compressed names by
       exploiting already cached compression pointers.
       The returned offset value indicates the start of the next item in the
       data buffer.
   encode
           $data = $object->encode;
       Returns the wire-format representation of the domain name suitable for
       inclusion in a DNS packet buffer.
Net::DNS::DomainName1035
       Net::DNS::DomainName1035 implements a subclass of domain name objects
       which are to be encoded using the compressed wire format defined in
       RFC1035.
           use Net::DNS::DomainName;
           $object = new Net::DNS::DomainName1035('compressible.example.com');
           $data   = $object->encode( $offset, $hash );
           ( $object, $next ) = decode Net::DNS::DomainName1035( \$data, $offset );
       Note that RFC3597 implies that the RR types defined in RFC1035 section
       3.3 are the only types eligible for compression.
   encode
           $data = $object->encode( $offset, $hash );
       Returns the wire-format representation of the domain name suitable for
       inclusion in a DNS packet buffer.
       The optional arguments are the offset within the packet data where the
       domain name is to be stored and a reference to a hash table used to
       index compressed names within the packet.
       If the hash reference is undefined, encode() returns the lowercase
       uncompressed canonical representation defined in RFC2535(8.1).
Net::DNS::DomainName2535
       Net::DNS::DomainName2535 implements a subclass of domain name objects
       which are to be encoded using uncompressed wire format.
       Note that RFC3597, and latterly RFC4034, specifies that the lower case
       canonical encoding defined in RFC2535 is to be used for RR types
       defined prior to RFC3597.
           use Net::DNS::DomainName;
           $object = new Net::DNS::DomainName2535('incompressible.example.com');
           $data   = $object->encode( $offset, $hash );
           ( $object, $next ) = decode Net::DNS::DomainName2535( \$data, $offset );
   encode
           $data = $object->encode( $offset, $hash );
       Returns the uncompressed wire-format representation of the domain name
       suitable for inclusion in a DNS packet buffer.
       If the hash reference is undefined, encode() returns the lowercase
       canonical form defined in RFC2535(8.1).
