dns test fails

It seems that since 2014-05-21 there were no successful test runs anymore (see also http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Data-Checker%201.00;reports=1#sl=7,1 ).

I just issued a new release which fixes this. Thanks for the report.

I didn't pay close enough attention to the failure and closed in prematurely. There were two problems with the DNS test. One is that an IP I was using had changed so the DNS test was failing due to that. That was the problem I corrected. One is that some releases of Net::DNS (0.76 and 0.79 I believe) there was a problem. Since I was running 0.74 on my computer, I didn't catch this. On further investigation, this will be corrected in Net::DNS 0.80 (which is unfortunately not released at this time). The failure is only a warning, so it doesn't actually prevent the test script from running correctly. I'll investigate further and try to get a workaround in place.

I couldn't figure out a workaround the problem in Net::DNS, so I did the next best thing and skipped those tests for the buggy versions. I just shipped out a new release to correct this problem.
