[opensuse] Alternative to perl Net::DNS::Resolver ?
I've just now discovered that the perl module/class Net::DNS::Resolver doesn't consult /etc/hosts when doing lookups, which is a problem - does anyone know of an alternative module for doing DNS lookups in perl? thanks Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Dunno whether it does what you want, but POE::Component::Client::DNS says it looks at /etc/hosts Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, I think I did spot that whilst googling. It doesn't quite fit the spec though - I need a drop-in replacement for Net::DNS::Resolver. Or as close as it gets. I really don't get why people have to reinvent the wheel over and over again - why doesn't Net::DNS::Resolver just interface with e.g. getaddrinfo() thereby reducing amount code and improving compatibility, in particular looking up /etc/hosts .... aarrrg [sounds of hair leaving head]. Dave, thanks for the suggestion nonetheless. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, I guess it's some sort of portability thing - I've now found a perl module that interfaces directly to getaddrinfo(), which is more like what I need - maybe Windows (or some other perl platform) doesn't have getaddrinfo() ? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Use the standard gethostbyname() function?

Good suggestion, but every now and then I also need to retrieve specific record types, and I'd prefer not to have two DNS interfaces. Looks like I might have to.

Good suggestion,
Michael, actually the best suggestion so far, I think I'll use gethostbyname() for retrieving A records. Thanks again, I can't believe I didn't think of that myself. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.5°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Okay, I'm not much of a perl programmer - how do I make gethostbyname() give me all IP-addresses for a given hostname? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
