why the module behaves this way ? Um, because that is why? I take the comment at its word :) # try looking in /etc/resolv.conf # putting this here and assuming that it is correct, eliminates # calls to gethostbyname, and therefore DNS lookups. This helps # those on dialup systems. So if I see that correctly, relying on an entry in the "search" block is a bit risky, isn't it? How exactly? You can always use Sys::Hostname? I see this caused problem for someone, Bug #73410 for libnet
