Net::DNS is a Perl interface to the DNS resolver. It allows the
|
|
programmer to perform any type of DNS query from a Perl script.
|
|
For details and examples, please read the Net::DNS manual page.
|
|
|
|
As of version 0.02, Net::DNS is written entirely in Perl. Version
|
|
0.01 was written mostly in C and used the system's resolver. The
|
|
Perl version runs quite a bit slower, but considering that the
|
|
network can be a serious bottleneck when making DNS queries, the
|
|
speed difference may not really matter in most cases. However,
|
|
future versions may contain some C to increase speed or for those
|
|
who wish to link against libresolv or libbind.
