-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I found several errors while testing the latest Net::DNS version. But I could replicate only one of them in a small example script. The following Perl code #!/usr/bin/perl use Net::DNS::RR; my $txt = Net::DNS::RR->new(name => 'a.ns.se', ttl => '2d', class => 'IN', type => 'TXT', txtdata => '"Netnod, Stockholm"'); print $txt->string . "\n"; prints a.ns.se. 2 IN TXT "Netnod, Stockholm" Look at the TTL, not quite what I expected. I have had other errors. Everything comes down to _normalize_rdata. Something that pkt2->new does isn't quite right. /Ulrich -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 9.8.3 (Build 4028) Charset: utf-8 wj8DBQFKlSj2L3KsM7TAdDARAh0DAJ4/34kRoz4IwQaMWos6xU10XeCObACg5NvO 6c4wA1MZFeEF27FhTILc25E= =ruIS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

TTLs need to be given in seconds, not duration short-hand. I don't think Net::DNS is documented to support duration short-hand. Chris. -- Chris Reinhardt chris@triv.org

Ulrich, The rubric being followed is RFC1035 (5.1) which defines the format of master files. Your use of ( name => value ) syntax does not alter that. "TTL is a decimal integer". That is constrained elsewhere to be a non-negative integer < 2**31. -- Dick

As this is a 'user error' this ticket is not further actionable
