Net::DNS doesn't export Net::DNS::Resolver=HASH(0x810c6ec)

I'm just picking up Perl, so this may be operator error. I have looked around at many Perl sites, but don't see any bugs like this one! Thanks. --- John Teller ========================================= The error output: "Net::DNS::Resolver=HASH(0x810c6ec)" is not exported by the Net::DNS module Can't continue after import errors at test.pl line 5 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 5. ========================================= The script: #!/usr/bin/perl # Need this one for DNS lookups use Net::DNS my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new; print $res->query('62.53.105.174'); print $res->query('google.com'); ========================================= OS: FreeBSD zarkov 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC 2004 root@harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 ========================================= perl -v output: This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-freebsd-64int ========================================= Installed p5 packages: p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 p5-Digest-SHA1-2.10 p5-Net-DNS-0.48

$res->query returns a Net::DNS::Packet object. So what you are trying to do is print the object (the HASH). What you should do is something like my $packet=$res->query("foo"); print $packet->string; or $packet->print; Also see perldoc Net::DNS::Resolver. --Olaf

And aside from that, the example program is missing a semicolon on the "use Net::DNS" line. That's what appears to be causing the "is not exported" error. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/
