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

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

DESCRIPTION
       Class for DNS Text (TXT) resource records.

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

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

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

   char_str_list
        print "Individual <character-string> list: \n\t",
              join("\n\t", $rr->char_str_list());

       Returns a list of the individual <character-string> elements, as unquoted strings.  Used by TXT->rdatastr and
       TXT->rr_rdata.

FEATURES
       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->char_str_list())[0] containing 'Test1 " ; more stuff' and $TXTrr->char_str_list())[1] containing
       'Test2'
