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 used to locate the authoritative name
       servers for the root (.) zone.

           $resolver->hints(@ip);

       If no hints are passed, the default nameserver is used to discover the addresses of the
       root nameservers.

       If the default nameserver not been configured correctly, or at all, a built-in list of IP
       addresses is used.

   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 the packet 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;

               $_->print for $packet->additional;

               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.
