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 documentation page ('perldoc Net::DNS') Features include a simple nameserver (Net::DNS::Nameserver), dynamic DNS updates, signed queries (TSIG), support for DNAME resource records and IPv6. 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/). Future versions may contain some C to increase speed or for those who wish to link against libresolv or libbind.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
