TinyDNS::Reader

This repository contains the source for the perl module TinyDNS::Reader and TinyDNS::Record.

They allow the reading and parsing of tinydns data-files, like so:

my $reader = TinyDNS::Reader->new( file => "zones/steve.co" );
my $records = $reader->parse();

foreach my $record ( @$records )
{
    print $record;
}

Further details are available in the test-cases, or the POD.

Notes

This module was put together for the Git-based DNS hosting service, and shouldn't be uploaded to CPAN, and indeed I did not do so, because the name implies it can parse real/genuine/complete TinyDNS records, however that is not the case:

• We ignore SOA records.
• We ignore NS records.
• Our TXT record (which should have a :-prefix) is non-standard/weird.
  • We use T:name:value[:ttl] instead. Which is cleaner.

Utility Script

Contained within the distribution is a simple dump-zones script, which will allow you to see how a file would be parsed by the DNS-hosting service.

Usage:

./dump-records file1 file2 .. fileN
