=head1 DESCRIPTION

Class for DNS Address (A) resource records.

The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented
by the type-specific methods defined in this package.

Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data
structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or
other unpredictable behaviour.

    $rr->address( $IPv4_address );

Version 4 IP address represented using dotted-quad notation.
