Megagram::ResolveSRV - Megagram::ResolveSRV documentation

  Tells you the hosts and order to use for services using SRV records (like XMPP, etc).

  use Megagram::ResolveSRV;

  my $rsrv = Megagram::ResolveSRV->new;
  my @hosts = $rsrv->resolve('_xmpp-server._tcp.google.com');

  use Data::Dumper;
  print Dumper(\@hosts);

  Not really a bug, but the weighting logic is a little crummy.
  Feel free to send a patch for it.  It works well enough for me for the moment.
