Net::Bind::Utils(3)

NAME
Net::Bind::Utils - various routines common across Net::Bind packages.

SYNOPSIS
  use Net::Bind::Utils qw(valid_domain valid_ip);

DESCRIPTION
A catch-all place for various routines that are useful across most, if not all, of the "Net::Bind" interfaces.

This module is not designed to be subclassable.

ROUTINES

  valid_domain($domain)
Returns 1 if the given $domain string is defined and is a domain that bind is capable of resolving, otherwise returns 0.

  valid_domain_rfc1035($domain)
Returns 1 if the given $domain string is defined and is a valid rfc1035 domain name, otherwise returns 0.

  valid_ip($ip)
Returns 1 if the given $ip string is defined and is an ip address, otherwise returns 0.

The check for a valid ip address is currently very simple minded. It merely checks for a dotted-quad with all non-negative numbers with no number larger than 254.

  valid_netmask($netmask)
Returns 1 if the given $netmask string is defined and is a netmask, otherwise return 0.

The check for a valid netmask is currently very simple minded. It merely checks for a dotted-quad with all non-negative numbers with no number larger than 255.
