NAME
       Net::DNS::RR::TXT - DNS TXT resource record

SYNOPSIS
       "use Net::DNS::RR";

DESCRIPTION
       Class for DNS Text (TXT) resource records.

MMEETTHHOODDSS
       ttxxttddaattaa

           print "txtdata = ", $rr->txtdata, "\n";

       Returns the descriptive text as a single string, regardless of actual
       number of  elements.  Of questionable value.  Should
       be deprecated.

       Use "$txt->rdatastr()" or "$txt->charstrlist()" instead.

       cchhaarrssttrrlliisstt

        print "Individual  list: \n\t",
              join("\n\t", $rr->charstrlist());

       Returns a list of the individual  elements, as
       unquoted strings.  Used by TXT->rdatastr and TXT->rrrdata.

FFEEAATTUURREESS
       The RR.pm module accepts semi-colons as a start of a comment. This is
       to allow the RR.pm to deal with RFC1035 specified zonefile format.

       For some applications of the TXT RR the semicolon is relevant, you will
       need to escape it on input.

       Also note that you should specify the several character strings
       separately. The easiest way to do so is to include the whole argument
       in single quotes and the several character strings in double quotes.
       Double quotes inside the character strings will need to be escaped.

       my $TXTrr=Net::DNS::RR->new('txt2.t.net-dns.org.  60   IN      TXT
       "Test1 \" \; more stuff"  "Test2"');

       would result in $TXTrr->charstrlist())[0] containing 'Test1 " ; more
       stuff' and $TXTrr->charstrlist())[1] containing 'Test2'
