Subject: Install hangs/extremly during testing
Install via CPAN shell hangs/extremly slow during testing in t/08-IPv4.t After about an hour, it went from 1/92 to 32/92. This is in a company network, which does not allow direct DNS resolving. It might be a good idea to disable-by-default all tests that try to directly access the internet. Either the way SSLeay (i think) does it by asking yes/no, or only run those tests when user calls with an environment variable, something like ENABLE_ONLINE_TESTS=1 make test

Which is a company policy issue, not a Net::DNS bug See perl Makefile.PL --help for the complete picture Usage: perl Makefile.PL [OPTION...] Prepare Makefile for building and installing Net::DNS --online-tests Perform tests by communicating with the outside world. Beware that their success is also dependent on outside influences. --noonline-tests Skip online tests completely. --IPv6-tests Perform IPv6 specific online tests. Default is the same as regular online tests. --noIPv6-tests Skip IPv6 specific online test --non-fatal-online-tests Perform online test, but do not let failures negatively affect the outcome of running make test. This is the default.

Yes. But it's pretty standard nowadays not to let clients do DNS directly in company networks. Nearly every network i know only allows the official DNS Server to do lookups. Show quoted text

That is sort of okay when installing only Net::DNS, but it is still pretty annoying when installing it as a dependency for other stuff.

Just as an additional information: In my case, i use Net::DNS as a local server for some networks. Two of which don't even have any connection to the internet (critical infrastructure).

Net::DNS is designed to provide a Perl interface to the (singular) global Domain Name System. Navigating around the peculiar behaviour of your local network falls outside our remit.

Rejecting, because we do have the option to disable online tests.

Sorry, I meant skip the online tests not disable.
