Subject:

Net::Domain::hostfqdn() pointlessly looks in DNS

See the http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=275024#45 for detailed info.

Sat Nov 07 09:04:23 2009 GBARR [...] CPAN.ORG - Correspondence added

While some machines are properly configured, some are not. Net::Hostname attempts several heuristics to determine a hostname and it deliberately checks DNS to determine if its guesses are valid. This is not a bug.
