NAME

       Net::DNS::RR::LOC - DNS LOC resource record

SYNOPSIS

           use Net::DNS;
           $rr = new Net::DNS::RR('name LOC latitude longitude altitude size hp vp');

DESCRIPTION

       DNS geographical location (LOC) resource records.

METHODS

       The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the type-specific methods
       defined in this package.

       Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and
       could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour.

   latitude
           $latitude = $rr->latitude;
           ($deg, $min, $sec, $ns ) = $rr->latitude;

           $rr->latitude( 42.357990 );
           $rr->latitude( 42, 21, 28.764, 'N' );
           $rr->latitude( '42 21 28.764 N' );

       When invoked in scalar context, latitude is returned in degrees, a negative ordinate being south of the
       equator.

       When invoked in list context, latitude is returned as a list of separate degree, minute, and second
       values followed by N or S as appropriate.

       Optional replacement values may be represented as single value, list or formatted string. Trailing zero
       values are optional.

   longitude
           $longitude = $rr->longitude;
           ($deg, $min, $sec, $ew ) = $rr->longitude;

           $rr->latitude( 71.014338 );
           $rr->latitude( 71, 0, 51.617, 'W' );
           $rr->latitude( '71 0 51.617 W' );

       When invoked in scalar context, longitude is returned in degrees, a negative ordinate being west of the
       prime meridian.

       When invoked in list context, longitude is returned as a list of separate degree, minute, and second
       values followed by E or W as appropriate.

   altitude
           $altitude = $rr->altitude;

       Represents altitude, in metres, relative to the WGS 84 reference spheroid used by GPS.

   size
           $size = $rr->size;

       Represents the diameter, in metres, of a sphere enclosing the described entity.

   hp
           $hp = $rr->hp;

       Represents the horizontal precision of the data expressed as the diameter, in metres, of the circle of
       error.

   vp
           $vp = $rr->vp;

       Represents the vertical precision of the data expressed as the total spread, in metres, of the
       distribution of possible values.

   latlon
           ($lat, $lon) = $rr->latlon;

       Returns the latitude and longitude coordinate pair as signed floating-point degrees.

   version
           $version = $rr->version;
           $rr->version( $version );

       Version of LOC protocol.
