C<password> - The corresponding password. This is required.

C<hostname> - The FQDN of host being updated. This is required.

Contains a comma-delimited list of hosts that have IP addresses. This parameter
may be C<*.domain.com> to update a wildcard A-record.

C<myip> - The IP address of the client to be updated.  This
defaults to the IP address of the incoming connection (handy if you are
being natted).

C<tld> - The root domain of your hostname, for example if your hostname is
C<example.co.uk> you can set C<tld> to C<co.uk>.  This is to support an
undocumented "feature" of zoneedit where you sometimes need to specify it to
to update your zone.

C<secure> - Values are either C<1> or C<0>. If C<1>, then SSL https is used to
connect to ZoneEdit. The SSL connection has the big advantage that your 
passwords are not passed in plain-text accross the internet. Secure is on by
default if Crypt::SSLeay is installed. A warning will be generated if it's not
installed unless you set C<secure> to C<0>. If you set C<secure>  to C<1> and the
module is unavailable, the module will C<croak>.

=back

Returns C<TRUE> on success. On failure it returns C<FALSE> and 
sets C<$@>.

=item get_basic_credentials();

Since a ZoneEdit object is an subclass of C<LWP::UserAgent>, it overrides
this UserAgent method for your convenience. It uses the credentials passed
in the update method. There is no real reason to call, or override this method.

sub get_basic_credentials { ($_[0]->{"username"}, $_[0]->{"password"}) }

=head1 NOTES

There are some example scripts in the C<examples> directory of the module
distribution. These are designed to run out of cron (or similar). You should
not run them too often to avoid overloading the ZoneEdit servers. Ideally
your code should cache the existing value for your IP, and only update
ZoneEdit when it changes.
