Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation
NAME
Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse - DNS recursive resolver
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse;
my $resolver = new Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse();
$resolver->hints('198.41.0.4'); # A.ROOT-SERVER.NET.
my $packet = $resolver->send( 'www.rob.com.au.', 'A' );
DESCRIPTION
This module resolves queries by following the delegation path from the
DNS root.
METHODS
This module inherits almost all the methods from Net::DNS::Resolver.
Additional module-specific methods are described below.
hints
This method specifies a list of the IP addresses of nameservers to be
used to discover the addresses of the root nameservers.
$resolver->hints(@ip);
If no hints are passed, the priming query is directed to nameservers
drawn from a built-in list of IP addresses.
query, search, send
The query(), search() and send() methods produce the same result as
their counterparts in Net::DNS::Resolver.
$packet = $resolver->send( 'www.example.com.', 'A' );
Server-side recursion is suppressed by clearing the recurse flag in
query packets and recursive name resolution is performed explicitly.
The query() and search() methods are inherited from Net::DNS::Resolver
and invoke send() indirectly.
callback
This method specifies a code reference to a subroutine, which is then
invoked at each stage of the recursive lookup.
For example to emulate dig's "+trace" function:
my $coderef = sub {
my $packet = shift;
printf ";; Received %d bytes from %s\n\n",
$packet->answersize, $packet->answerfrom;
};
$resolver->callback($coderef);
The callback subroutine is not called for queries for missing glue
records.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This package is an improved and compatible reimplementation of the
Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse.pm created by Rob Brown in 2002, whose
contribution is gratefully acknowledged.
