Sorry for being so extremely late, but you should use the send method instead of the query
method... See documentation fragment below
send
$packet = $res->send($packet_object);
$packet = $res->send('mailhost.example.com');
$packet = $res->send('example.com', 'MX');
$packet = $res->send('user.passwd.example.com', 'TXT', 'HS');
Performs a DNS query for the given name. Neither the searchlist nor
the default domain will be appended.
The argument list can be either a "Net::DNS::Packet" object or a list
of strings. The record type and class can be omitted; they default to
A and IN. If the name looks like an IP address (Ipv4 or IPv6), then an
appropriate PTR query will be performed.
Returns a "Net::DNS::Packet" object whether there were any answers or
not. Use "$packet->header->ancount" or "$packet->answer" to find out
if there were any records in the answer section. Returns "undef" if
there was an error.
