Subject: uninitialized value in Question.pm
Use of uninitialized value in pack at /opt/perl5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/Net/DNS/Question.pm line 160. It doesn't check to make sure the record type of valid. In this case I'm trying to pass it an MV record type, instead of MX. my $res = new Net::DNS::Resolver; my $query = $res->query("foo.bar.com", 'MV'); The error is getting throw in Question.pm, but perhaps it could be trapped earlier, say in Resolver.pm at around line 594. You could validate the requested type in $Net::DNS::typesbyname{uc($self->{"qtype"}) and do the same thing for the class to prevent bogus classes...

Sorry at the delay in getting back to you. Net::DNS shoudl probably check for a valid question type before precending too far. I will look into this before the next CPAN release. -- Chris Reinhardt ctriv@dyndns.org Systems Architect Dynamic DNS Network Services http://www.dyndns.org/
