Subject: PTRDNAME error in Net-Nslookup
Hi - I'm running the latest CPAN version of nslookup. When I run this command: my $name = nslookup(host => $maybeip, type => PTR); on this address - 206.103.147.91, I get the following error message: *** *** WARNING!!! The program has attempted to call the method *** "ptrdname" for the following RR object: *** *** 91.147.103.206.in-addr.arpa. 3600 IN CNAME 206.103.147.91.cybermood.net. *** *** This object doesn't have a method "ptrdname". THIS IS A BUG *** IN THE CALLING SOFTWARE, which has incorrectly assumed that *** the object would be of a particular type. The calling *** software should check the type of each RR object before *** calling any of its methods. *** *** Net::DNS has returned undef to the caller. *** at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Net/Nslookup.pm line 158 I also get the same error message for ip address 68.17.53.62. I'm running perl 5.8.5 on Fedora Core 3.

Your example doesn't seem to have a PTR record, so nslookup now behaves correctly: $ perl -MNet::Nslookup -wle 'print "PTR record = ", nslookup(host => "206.103.147.91", type => "PTR")' PTR record = Calling it with an address that does have a PTR record works, also: $ perl -MNet::Nslookup -wle 'print "PTR record = ", nslookup(host => "74.125.159.103", type => "PTR")' PTR record = yi-in-f103.1e100.net
