| Subject: | What Looks like a bug in autoloading Net::DNS::RR subtypes |
Hello,
I downloaded and installed Net-DNS-0.44 from CPAN onto my Slackware Linux 9.0 system with perl v5.6.1 (i386-linux) [perl -V and uname -a output is below. I am porting an Application I wrote from Net::DNS version 0.09 and ran into an issue which is reproducable using the axfr program from the demo directory. The symptom is: When the axfr program gets the zone data from its cache file (i.e. it doesn't have to do a *real* axfr), it gets the following error:
jodi@rtr-snw:~/subnets$ ./axfr npn.siemens.com
Can't locate object method "print" via package "Net::DNS::RR::SOA" (perhaps you forgot to load "Net::DNS::RR::SOA"?) at ./axfr line 185.
In 0.09, there are a bunch of hardcoded "use"s in Net:DNS:RR that load all(?) the RR subtypes. In the 0.44 Changelog, there is an indication that this mechanism was replaced by AUTOLOAD in version 0.25.
This doesn't seem to be working on my system and I don't have any clue how to debug into the AUTOLOAD stuff. Any ideas where to look, or why this particular circumstance fails would be greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to contact me for more info, suggested changes I can test, or just to tell me to get over it.
Thanks,
