Creates a new SPF record "ptr" mechanism object.

%options is a list of key/value pairs representing any of the following options:
qualifier
domain_spec

See "new" in Mail::SPF::Mech.

new_from_string($text, %options): returns Mail::SPF::Mech::PTR; throws
Mail::SPF::ENothingToParse, Mail::SPF::EInvalidMech

Creates a new SPF record "ptr" mechanism object by parsing the string and any options given.

Class methods
The following class methods are provided:
default_qualifier
qualifier_pattern

See "Class methods" in Mail::SPF::Mech.

name: returns string

Returns ’ptr’.

name_pattern: returns Regexp

Returns a regular expression that matches a mechanism name of ’ptr’.

Instance methods
The following instance methods are provided:
text
qualifier
params
stringify

See "Instance methods" in Mail::SPF::Mech.

domain_spec: returns Mail::SPF::MacroString

Returns the "domain−spec" parameter of the mechanism.

match($server, $request): returns boolean

Checks whether the mechanism’s target domain name, or a sub-domain thereof, is a "valid" domain name for the given request’s IP address (see "ip_address" in Mail::SPF::Request), and returns true if it does, or false otherwise. See "valid_domain_for_ip_address" in Mail::SPF::Util for how domains are validated. See RFC 4408, 5.5, for the description of an equivalent algorithm.
