DESCRIPTIONMail::SPF::Util is Mail::SPF's utility class.
Class methods
The following class methods are provided:
hostname: returns string
Returns the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the local host.
ipv4_address_to_ipv6($ipv4_address): returns NetAddr::IP; throws
Mail::SPF::EInvalidOptionValue
Converts the specified NetAddr::IP IPv4 address into an IPv4-mapped
IPv6 address. Throws a Mail::SPF::EInvalidOptionValue exception if
the specified IP address is not an IPv4 address.
ipv6_address_to_ipv4($ipv6_address): returns NetAddr::IP; throws
Mail::SPF::EInvalidOptionValue
Converts the specified NetAddr::IP IPv4-mapped IPv6 address into a
proper IPv4 address. Throws a Mail::SPF::EInvalidOptionValue
exception if the specified IP address is not an IPv4-mapped IPv6
address.
ipv6_address_is_ipv4_mapped($ipv6_address): returns boolean
Returns true if the specified NetAddr::IP IPv6 address is an
IPv4-mapped address, false otherwise.
ip_address_to_string($ip_address): returns string; throws
Mail::SPF::EInvalidOptionValue
Returns the given NetAddr::IP IPv4 or IPv6 address compactly
formatted as a string. For IPv4 addresses, this is equivalent to
calling NetAddr::IP's "addr" method. For IPv6 addresses, this is
equivalent to calling NetAddr::IP's "short" method. Throws a
Mail::SPF::EInvalidOptionValue exception if the specified object is
not a NetAddr::IP IPv4 or IPv6 address object.
ip_address_reverse($ip_address): returns string; throws
Mail::SPF::EInvalidOptionValue
Returns the "in-addr.arpa."/"ip6.arpa." reverse notation of the
given NetAddr::IP IPv4 or IPv6 address. Throws a
Mail::SPF::EInvalidOptionValue exception if the specified object is
not a NetAddr::IP IPv4 or IPv6 address object.
valid_domain_for_ip_address($server, $request, $ip_address, $domain,
$find_best_match = false, $accept_any_domain = false): returns string
or undef
Finds a valid domain name for the given NetAddr::IP IP address that
matches the given domain or a sub-domain thereof. A domain name is
valid for the given IP address if the IP address reverse-maps to
that domain name in DNS, and the domain name in turn forward-maps
to the IP address. Uses the given Mail::SPF::Server and
Mail::SPF::Request objects to perform DNS look-ups. Returns the
validated domain name.
If $find_best_match is true, the one domain name is selected that
best matches the given domain name, preferring direct matches over
sub-domain matches. Defaults to false.
If $accept_any_domain is true, any domain names are considered
acceptable, even if they differ completely from the given domain
name (which is then effectively unused unless a best match is
requested). Defaults to false.
sanitize_string($string): returns string or undef
Replaces all non-printable or non-ascii characters in a string with
their hex-escaped representation (e.g., "\x00").
