Net-DNS-Extlang This module implements the DNS extension language described in this draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-levine-dnsextlang/ INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install USE WITH Net::DNS While Net::DNS::Extlang can load rrtype descriptions from either a text file or the DNS, it is designed to be invoked automatically by Net::DNS to handle unknown rrtypes. The dnsextlang draft proposes that rrtype data is stored in the DNS at {rrname,rrtype}.arpa. Until the IETF approves this and puts the domain at that location, Net::DNS::Extlang ships with a default domain suffix (services.net.). For the time being, the author has put rrtype data at {rrname,rrtype}.services.net. The domain suffix used automatically by Net::DNS can be specified using the following global assignment: use Net::DNS; $Net::DNS::Parameters::DNSEXTLANG = 'arbitrary.example.'; Assigning undef will cause automatic package generation to be suppressed. Once you've done that, the intention is that new rrtypes installed on the fly work just like the ones built into Net::DNS. The first time Net::DNS sees an unknown RRtype, it creates implementation code to handle the type.
