Net::DNS::FAQ(3)                     User Contributed Perl Documentation                    Net::DNS::FAQ(3)



NAME
       Net::DNS::FAQ - Frequently Asked Net::DNS Questions

SYNOPSIS
        perldoc Net::DNS::FAQ

DESCRIPTION
       This document serves to answer the most frequently asked questions on both the Net::DNS Mailing List
       and those sent to the author.

       The latest version of this FAQ can be found at      http://www.net-dns.org/docs/FAQ.html

GENERAL
       What is Net::DNS?

       Net::DNS is a perl implementation of a DNS resolver.

INSTALLATION
       Where can I find Test::More?

       Test::More is part of the Test-Simple packge, by Michael G Schwern.  You should be able to find the
       distrubution here:

               http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Simple/

USAGE
       Why does Net::DNS::Resolver::query() return undef when the ANSWER section is empty?

       The short answer is, don't use query().  Net::DNS::Resolver::send() will always return the answer
       packet, as long as an answer was received.

       The longer answer is that query() is modeled after the res_query() function from the libresolv C
       library, which has similar behaviors.
