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.
+For details and examples, please read the Net::DNS documentation page
+('perldoc Net::DNS')
-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.
+Features include a simple nameserver (Net::DNS::Nameserver), dynamic
+DNS updates, signed queries (TSIG), support for DNAME resource records.
+
+The author invites feedback on Net::DNS, especially on new features
+like dynamic updates und TSIG. If there's something you'd like to
+have added, please let him know (http://www.net-dns.org/).
