Net::DNS::Update \- DNS dynamic update packet
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.Vb 1
\&    use Net::DNS;
\&
\&    $update = Net::DNS::Update\->new( \*(Aqexample.com\*(Aq, \*(AqIN\*(Aq );

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Net::DNS::Update is a subclass of Net::DNS::Packet, to be used for
making \s-1DNS\s0 dynamic updates.
.PP
Programmers should refer to \s-1RFC2136\s0 for dynamic update semantics.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "new"
.IX Subsection "new"
.Vb 3
\&    $update = Net::DNS::Update\->new;
\&    $update = Net::DNS::Update\->new( \*(Aqexample.com\*(Aq );
\&    $update = Net::DNS::Update\->new( \*(Aqexample.com\*(Aq, \*(AqIN\*(Aq );
.Ve
.PP
Returns a Net::DNS::Update object suitable for performing a \s-1DNS\s0
dynamic update.	 Specifically, it creates a packet with the header
opcode set to \s-1UPDATE\s0 and the zone record type to \s-1SOA\s0 (per \s-1RFC 2136,\s0
Section 2.3).
.PP
Programs must use the \fBpush()\fR method to add RRs to the prerequisite
and update sections before performing the update.
.PP
Arguments are the zone name and the class.  The zone and class may
be undefined or omitted and default to the default domain from the
resolver configuration and \s-1IN\s0 respectively.
.SS "push"
.IX Subsection "push"
.Vb 3
\&    $ancount = $update\->push( prereq => $rr );

\&
\&    $nscount = $update\->push( update => $rr1, $rr2, $rr3 );
\&    $nscount = $update\->push( update => @rr );
.Ve
.PP
Adds RRs to the specified section of the update packet.
.PP
Returns the number of resource records in the specified section.
.PP
Section names may be abbreviated to the first three characters.
.SS "unique_push"
.IX Subsection "unique_push"
.Vb 3
\&    $ancount = $update\->unique_push( prereq => $rr );

\&    $nscount = $update\->unique_push( update => $rr1, $rr2, $rr3 );
\&    $nscount = $update\->unique_push( update => @rr );
.Ve
.PP
Adds RRs to the specified section of the update packet provided
that the RRs are not already present in the same section.
.PP
Returns the number of resource records in the specified section.
.PP
Section names may be abbreviated to the first three characters.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
The first example below shows a complete program.
Subsequent examples show only the creation of the update packet.
.PP
Although the examples are presented using the string form of RRs,
the corresponding ( name => value ) form may also be used.
