NAME
Net::DRI::Data::Hosts - Handle ordered list of nameservers (name, IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses) for Net::DRI
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DRI::Data::Hosts;
my $dh=Net::DRI::Data::Hosts->new();
$dh->add('ns.example.foo',['1.2.3.4','1.2.3.5']);
$dh->add('ns2.example.foo',['10.1.1.1']); ## Third element can be an array ref of IPv6 addresses
## ->add() returns the object itself, and thus can be chained
## Number of nameservers
print $dh->count(); ## Gives 2
## List of names, either all without arguments, or the amount given by the argument
my @a=$dh->get_names(2); ## Gives ('ns.example.foo','ns2.example.foo')
## Details for the nth nameserver (the list starts at 1 !)
my @d=$dh->get_details(2); ## Gives ('ns2.example.foo',['10.1.1.1'])
## Details by name is possible also
my @d=$dh->get_details('ns2.example.foo');
DESCRIPTION
Order of nameservers is preserved. Order of IP addresses is preserved, but no duplicate IP is allowed.
If you try to add a nameserver that is already in the list, the IP addresses provided will be added to the existing IP addresses (without
duplicates)
Hostnames are verified before being used with Net::DRI::Util::is_hostname().
IP addresses are verified with Net::DRI::Util::is_ipv4() and Net::DRI::Util::is_ipv6().
METHODS
new(...)
creates a new instance ; if parameters are given, add() is called with them all at once
new_set(...)
creates a new instance ; if parameters are given, add() is called once for each parameter
clear()
clears the current list of nameservers
set(...)
clears the current list of nameservers, and call add() once for each parameter passed
add(name,[ipv4],[ipv6])
adds a new nameserver with the given name and lists of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
name()
name of this object (for example for registries having the notion of host groups) ; this has nothing to do with the name(s) of the
nameservers inside this object
loid()
local id of this object
get_names(limit)
returns a list of nameservers' names included in this object ; if limit is provided we return only the number of names asked
count()
returns the number of nameservers currently stored in this object
is_empty()
returns 0 if this object has nameservers, 1 otherwise
get_details(pos_or_name)
given an integer (position in the list, we start to count at 1) or a name, we return all details as a 3 element array in list context or
only the first element (the name) in scalar context for the nameserver stored at the given position or with the given name ; returns undef
if nothing found at the position/with the name given.
