Net::DNS is a collection of Perl modules to interface with
the Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the
programmer to perform queries that are beyond the
capabilities of gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.
There are also methods for dealing with creating and
parsing dynamic updates packets.

Massive repo-copies request: net->dns (partly devel->dns)
The category "dns" has been added, now is the time to move
the dns-related ports to the new world. Is there anyone who
is brave enough to complete this difficult job? ;)

Update to 0.39, the latest release.
* Updated docs
* Net::DNS::Resolver now has unique classes for windows and unix
* You can now define a config file for the Resolver object
* Various other cleanups
If you were (bogusly) using module globals in your scripts, this
update is likely to break that, so take due precautions.
Update to version 0.38. Versions 0.3[567] all had various bugs with
either the Makefile.PL script, or other, and offered nothing new
of interest.
This version has a more efficient dn_expand method, and adds a
warning that Resolver::axfr_old() is deprecated.
Update to version 0.34, which has better handling for multi-string TXT RR's,
and multiple queries in one packet. Also some minor bug fixes for
Net::DNS::Resolver::Recurse and Net::DNS::Resolver::axfr_next().
Convert to ${SITE_PERL}
Conditionalise several dependencies on PERL_LEVEL to make those ports more
friendly for perl-5.8.0, which has those dependencies included into the
base distribution.

Update to 0.33, which has improved SIG support, and a few minor bugfixes.
Delete the sed "patch in Makefile" for FAQ.pod, the authors finally
fixed that.
Update to 0.30, which has TKEY support, a new safe_push() method
for detecting duplicate RR's in an update packet, and some more
tests. Note, the tests are not installed by the port, but are
useful to examine as samples, and to test your installation.
* Update the port to handle the new TKEY and FAQ files.
* Patch the new FAQ, since pod2man is choking on the CVS Id.
* Update the comment by mentioning dynamic updates.
* Add a comment to the Makefile about the harmless build errors
you see if you don't have the run-time depends already installed.
Revert 1.32, which was wrong in all its particulars:
* The errors related to the missing dependencies during build are harmless.
The build-time and run-time dependencies are seperated on purpose so that
the port can be built and run on different boxes.
* The Test-Simple module is not needed to build or run the port, the
tests are not installed by us, and not part of the port itself.
These changes should have been discussed with me before they were made.
Upgrade to version 0.25, which cleans up CERT.pm a bit, and also
has some major performance enhancements, especially the streamlined
implementation of AUTOLOAD.
My brief tests indicate roughly a 30% reduction in module load time.
Update to version 0.24, which contains:
Added support for DNAME resource records.
Fixed edge case for queries that have no name.
Tighted up the regular expression used in Net::DNS::Resolver::cname_addr()
Update to 0.23:
Fixed Net::DNS::mx() to work properly in scalar context.
Fixed taint issue when Net::DNS::Resolver::nameservers() is passed
a hostname as an argument.
Update to the latest, 0.21. This version contains many changes,
please see the Changes file for details. Some of the new features
include TSIG support (experimental), a name server module,
fixes for bind() problems in 5.005.03, and more.
The good news is that our friends in perldom have now seen the
light and fixed the later versions of this module so that it
does not (any longer) require perl 5.6.0 or higher. I've tested
quite a lot of the functions on both a RELENG_4 with stock perl
5.005.03, and a 5-Current system with stock 5.6.1, and didn't
have any problems.
I also added a few files to the PORTDOCS option.
* Assume maintainership by agreement. * Update to 0.14, which has only two
changes: - Fix the bug which we fixed with patch-aa - Fix
the "defined @array" line that trips up perl 5.6.x
Lots and lots of cleanups. Teach p5-* in general about PKGNAMEPREFIX. Add
some missing/wrong dependencies. Show how to respect CC/CFLAGS. Many
miscellaneous modifications. I used more excessive hacks to force p5-Jcode
and p5-WWW-Search to respect CC/CFLAGS.
