- Net::DNS::Question - DNS question class
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- C<use Net::DNS::Question>
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- A C<Net::DNS::Question> object represents a record in the
- question section of a DNS packet.
-
- =head1 METHODS
-
- =head2 new
-
- $question = Net::DNS::Question->new("example.com", "MX", "IN");
-
- Creates a question object from the domain, type, and class passed
- as arguments.

- =head2 qname, zname
-
- print "qname = ", $question->qname, "\n";

-
- Returns the domain name. In dynamic update packets, this field is
- known as C<zname> and refers to the zone name.
-
- =head2 qtype, ztype
-
- print "qtype = ", $question->qtype, "\n";
- print "ztype = ", $question->ztype, "\n";
-
- Returns the record type. In dymamic update packets, this field is
- known as C<ztype> and refers to the zone type (must be SOA).
-
- =head2 qclass, zclass
-
- print "qclass = ", $question->qclass, "\n";

-
- Returns the record class. In dynamic update packets, this field is
- known as C<zclass> and refers to the zone's class.

- =head2 data
-
- $qdata = $question->data($packet, $offset);
-
- Returns the question record in binary format suitable for inclusion
- in a DNS packet.
-
- Arguments are a C<Net::DNS::Packet> object and the offset within
- that packet's data where the C<Net::DNS::Question> record is to
- be stored. This information is necessary for using compressed
- domain names.
