Net::DNS is a module for making DNS queries from a Perl script.  Here
are the significant new features in version 0.11:

  * The ability to create an RR object from a string.  Examples:

      $a = new Net::DNS::RR("foo.bar.com. 86400 A 10.1.2.3");
      $mx = new Net::DNS::RR("bar.com. 7200 MX 10 mailhost.bar.com.");
      $cname = new Net::DNS::RR("www.bar.com 300 IN CNAME www1.bar.com");
      $txt = new Net::DNS::RR("baz.bar.com 3600 HS TXT 'text record'");

  * New functions to ease the creation of dynamic update packets:

      $prereq_rr = nxrrset("foo.bar.com. A");
      $update_rr = rr_add("foo.bar.com. 86400 A 192.168.1.2");

      $prereq_rr = yxdomain("foo.bar.com");
      $update_rr = rr_del("foo.bar.com");
    
See the Net::DNS and Net::DNS::Update manual pages for documentation
and examples.

Net::DNS 0.11 is making its way around CPAN; you can also get it from:
