| Subject: | Net::DNS::Resolver::Cygwin fails to find DHCP IP address |
Net-DNS-0.61
Perl 5.8.8
Cygwin 1.5.24(0.156/4/2) on Win2K/SP4
Cygwin: cpan installation of Net::DNS fails because make test fails.
The resolver object has an empty IP address, and therefore an empty
nameserver list.
I have a handful of interfaces on the box, and it turns out that the
DSL connection via RASPPPoE stores its IP in the registry under the
key "DhcpIPAddress", while "IPAddress" has a value of "0.0.0.0". Hence
the failure to test and install.
The attached patch fixes this by first checking for "DhcpIPAddress".
Cheers
Wolfgang
