# Mail::SPF::v1::Record(3pm)

SPFv1 record class

## NAME

Mail::SPF::v1::Record - SPFv1 record class

## VERSION

version 3.20260331

## SYNOPSIS

See Mail::SPF::Record.

## DESCRIPTION

An object of class **Mail::SPF::v1::Record** represents an **SPFv1** (`"v=spf1"`) record.

### Constructors

The following constructors are provided:

- **new(%options)**: returns *Mail::SPF::v1::Record*

  Creates a new SPFv1 record object.

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

  - **text**

    - **terms**

    - **global\_mods**

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

  - **scopes**

    See "new" in Mail::SPF::Record.  Since SPFv1 records always implicitly cover the `"helo"` and `"mfrom"` scopes, this option must either be exactly **\['helo',** **'mfrom'\]** (or **\['mfrom', 'helo'\]**) or be omitted.

- **new\_from\_string($text, %options)**: returns *Mail::SPF::v1::Record*; throws *Mail::SPF::ENothingToParse*, *Mail::SPF::EInvalidRecordVersion*, *Mail::SPF::ESyntaxError*

  Creates a new SPFv1 record object by parsing the string and any options given.

### Class methods
