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 package, by Michael G Schwern.
You should be able to find the distribution at
<http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Simple/>
USAGE
Why does $resolver->query() return undef when the answer section is empty?
The short answer is, do not use query(). $resolver->send() will always
return the response packet, as long as a response was received.
The longer answer is that query() is modeled after the res_query()
function from the libresolv C library, which has similar behavior.
