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. |
