DESCRIPTION

The Perl Karma Client API consists of three objects: The Query, the Response and the Client. The user constructs a Query and passes it to a Client, which returns a Response.

CONSTRUCTOR

The class method new(...) constructs a new Client object. All arguments are optional. The following parameters are recognised as arguments to new():

PeerAddr

The IP address or hostname to contact. See IO::Socket::INET. The default is 'slave.karmasphere.com'.

PeerPort

The TCP or UDP to contact. See IO::Socket::INET. The default is 8666.

Proto

Either 'udp' or 'tcp'. The default is 'udp' because it is faster.

Debug

Set to 1 to enable some wire-level debugging.

METHODS

$response = $client->ask($query)

Returns a Mail::Karmasphere::Response to a Mail::Karmasphere::Query.

$response = $client->query(...)

A convenience method, equivalent to

        $client->ask(new Mail::Karmasphere::Query(...));

See Mail::Karmasphere::Query for more details.

EXPORTS

IDT_IP4_ADDRESS IDT_IP6_ADDRESS IDT_DOMAIN_NAME IDT_EMAIL_ADDRESS IDT_URL
