DNS::TinyDNS - Perl extension for manipulating djbdns

  use DNS::TinyDNS;

  # Create a dnsserver or a dnscache
  my $cache  = DNS::TinyDNS->new(type => 'dnscache');
  my $server = DNS::TinyDNS->new(type => 'dnsserver');




  # Set the config directory
  $server->dir('/service/tinydns');

  # start, stop and restart
  $cache->stop;
  $cache->start;
  $server->restart;

This module will allow you to manipulate djbdns files. You can configure the options of dnscache, list, add, remove, or modify all the entrys of your dns server too.

Please check the documentation of DNS::TinyDNS::dnscache or DNS::TinyDNS::dnsserver to see the details of each one.

When you create a new object you have to specify if it's a dns server or a dnscache.

        # Create a dnsserver
        my $server=DNS::TinyDNS->new(type => 'dnsserver');

        # Create a dnscache
        my $cache  = DNS::TinyDNS->new(type => 'dnscache');

You can specify the directory at this time or do it later.

        my $server = DNS::TinyDNS->new( type => 'dnsserver',
                                        dir  => '/service/tinydns');

If you pass a parameter, it sets the directory, otherwise, it just return the value of the directory.

        $server->dir('/etc/tinydns')
                or warn "Cant change dir to /etc/tinydns";

        my $dir = $server->dir;

This method depends on the type of the object.

This method depends on the type of the object.

This methods deppends on where are installed daemontools, by default, they are at /usr/local/bin/svc but you can change it with the svc method.

        $cache->restart or warn "Cant restart";
        $server->stop or warn "Cant stop";
        $server->start or warn "Cant start";

If you pass a parameter, it sets the location of svc, otherways it just return the current value.

        my $svc_location = $server->svc;
        $server->svc('/usr/bin/svc')
                or warn "Cant set svc to /usr/bin/svc";
