NAME

Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse - DNS recursive resolver  

SYNOPSIS

    use Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse;

    $resolver = new Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse();

    $packet = $resolver->query ( 'www.example.com', 'A' );
    $packet = $resolver->search( 'www.example.com', 'A' );
    $packet = $resolver->send  ( 'www.example.com', 'A' );

 

DESCRIPTION

This module is a subclass of Net::DNS::Resolver.  

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.
