    my $name = name('whatever.example.org');

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

info($tag, $href)

Creates and returns a Zonemaster::Engine::Logger::Entry object. The object is also added to the global logger object's list of entries.

ns($name, $address)

Creates and returns a nameserver object with the given name and address.

policy()

Returns a reference to the global policy hash.

name($string_name_or_zone)

Creates and returns a Zonemaster::Engine::DNSName object for the given argument.

pod_extract_for($testname)

Will attempt to extract the POD documentation for the test methods in the test module for which the name is given. If it can, it returns a reference to a hash where the keys are the test method names and the values the documentation strings.

This method blindly assumes that the structure of the POD is exactly like that in the Basic test module. If it's not, the results are undefined.

scramble_case

This routine provides a special effect: sCraMBliNg tHe CaSe

should_run_test

Check if a test is blacklisted and should run or not.

ipversion_ok

Check if IP version operations are permitted. Tests are done against Zonemaster::Engine::Profile->effective content.
