Description

Net::DNS is a collection of Perl modules to interface with the Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the programmer to perform queries that are beyond the capabilities of gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.

There are also methods for dealing with creating and parsing dynamic updates packets.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 1.57, as upstream numbers it.
