Re: NET::DNS

[Improv]

A few things:

• Is DNS set up correctly on your system? Do other DNS queries work? (e.g. can IE or Mozilla resolve www.cnn.com?)
• What version of Net::DNS are you using?
• What examples are you trying? What errors do they give?

• Yes, IE can go to websites.
• Version is 0.34
• One of the examples are

  #/usr/bin/perl -w
  
  use warnings;
  use strict;
  
  use Net::DNS; 
  my $rr;
  
    my $res   = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;
    my $query = $res->query("http://www.yahoo.com", "NS");
    
    if ($query) {
        foreach $rr ($query->answer) {
            next unless $rr->type eq "NS";
            print $rr->nsdname, "\n";
        }
    }
    else {
        print "query failed: ", $res->errorstring, "\n";
    }

Ok, by not working, does it print 'query failed', or does it die, or do something else? Is it possible you're behind a firewall, and just accessing the web through a proxy?

I get the error query failed: connection failed
