The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: DNS::ZoneParse DSLIP: RdpOp description: Parse and manipulate DNS Zone files userid: SIMONFLK (Simon Flack) chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC) communities: perlmonks.org similar: DNS::ZoneFile - It doesn't work and hasn't been worked on in a year. rationale: I originally requested namespace addition in March, (http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules/2001-03/msg00056.html). Despite not being listed, quite a few people have turned up the module in the search and are using it. The module has grown and matured in response to user feedback. The next phase of development is to replace the regular-expression parsing routines with a Parse::RecDescent grammar. Not only will this allow for more complex parsing, such as round-robin dns. It will also be easier to make the parsing routine a subclass, so you can have different grammers for different DNS server zone files. At the moment it seems to work ok with Microsoft DNS and Bind, but I am not sure about others. I can also allow the user to provide their own grammars. All in all the feedback has been really good from users. enteredby: SIMONFLK (Simon Flack) enteredon: Wed Sep 26 22:30:29 2001 GMT The resulting entry would be: DNS:: ::ZoneParse RdpOp Parse and manipulate DNS Zone files SIMONFLK Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=92100000_4f96f5553f9ba706&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=92100000_4f96f5553f9ba706&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
