Subject: Requiring functioning DNS at test time is a pain
At "make test" time, the tests endeavour to check the SPF records of various subdomains under mailzone.com. This is a problem if the host on which the module is being built and packaged is buried inside a corporate network that does not have a view of the external DNS. The test functionality should be split out so that the SPF record parsing checks can be fed canned data, so at least that part of the code can be tested on hosts that can't view external DNS.

You're probably right. But this will almost certainly never be fixed in Mail::SPF::Query, which will soon be considered obsolete as the new Mail::SPF takes its place (this will probably happen in early 2006).
