Subject:	Docs for Net::DNS::RR::CERT wrong, cert() missing

Hello maintainers, First of all, thanks for the great package! Does a lot of work for me :) I found, the documentation for the class Net::DNS::RR::CERT is wrong (probably). It mentions the following methods: - format - tag - algorithm - cert - certbin Two of which are not available: - There is no method named 'cert'. The method's name is 'certificate' - There is no method named 'certbin' I could not find a method (documented or not) that gives me the PEM encoded certificate (which ought to be cert according to the docs).

The description you provide is inconsistent. The documentation you quote is from Net::DNS 0.69 or later. The installed code seems to be 0.68 or earlier. The maintained version is 0.83 which appears to be complete and correct. Show quoted text

$rr->cert() returns the Base64 encoded certificate. $rr->certificate() is provided for backward compatibility. $rr->certbin() provides the decoded form. The interpretation of the certificate is out of scope for Net::DNS and depends on the value of $rr->format() as listed in RFC4398. Unfortunately, RFC4398 calls this the "type" field, which conflicts with Net::DNS::RR::type.
