=head1 NAME

Net::Nslookup - Provide nslookup(1)-like capabilities

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Net::Nslookup;
  my @addrs = nslookup $host;

  my @mx = nslookup(type => "MX", domain => "perl.org");

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Net::Nslookup> provides the capabilities of the standard UNIX
command line tool F<nslookup(1)>. C<Net::DNS> is a wonderful and
full featured module, but quite often, all you need is `nslookup
$host`.  This module provides that functionality.

C<Net::Nslookup> exports a single function, called C<nslookup>.
C<nslookup> can be used to retrieve A, PTR, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, 
TXT, and SRV records.

  my $a  = nslookup(host => "use.perl.org", type => "A");

  my @mx = nslookup(domain => "perl.org", type => "MX");

  my @ns = nslookup(domain => "perl.org", type => "NS");

  my $name = nslookup(host => "206.33.105.41", type => "PTR");

  my @srv = nslookup(term => "_jabber._tcp.gmail.com", type => "SRV");

C<nslookup> takes a hash of options, one of which should be I<term>,
and performs a DNS lookup on that term.  The type of lookup is
determined by the I<type> argument.  If I<server> is specified (it
should be an IP address, or a reference to an array of IP
addresses), that server(s) will be used for lookups.

If only a single argument is passed in, the type defaults to I<A>,
that is, a normal A record lookup.

If C<nslookup> is called in a list context, and there is more than
one address, an array is returned.  If C<nslookup> is called in a
scalar context, and there is more than one address, C<nslookup>
returns the first address.  If there is only one address returned,
then, naturally, it will be the only one returned, regardless of the
calling context.

I<domain> and I<host> are synonyms for I<term>, and can be used to
make client code more readable.  For example, use I<domain> when
getting NS records, and use I<host> for A records; both do the same
thing.

I<server> should be a single IP address or a reference to an array
of IP addresses:

  my @a = nslookup(host => 'example.com', server => '4.2.2.1');

  my @a = nslookup(host => 'example.com', server => [ '4.2.2.1', '128.103.1.1' ])

By default, when doing CNAME, MX, and NS lookups, C<nslookup>
returns names, not addresses.  This is a change from versions prior
to 2.0, which always tried to resolve names to addresses.  Pass the
I<recurse =E<gt> 1> flag to C<nslookup> to have it follow CNAME, MX,
and NS lookups.  Note that this usage of "recurse" is not consistent
with the official DNS meaning of recurse.

    # returns soemthing like ("mail.example.com")
    my @mx = nslookup(domain => 'example.com', type => 'MX');

    # returns soemthing like ("127.0.0.1")
    my @mx = nslookup(domain => 'example.com', type => 'MX', recurse => 1);

SOA lookups return the SOA record in the same format as the `host`
tool:

    print nslookup(domain => 'example.com', type => 'SOA');
    dns1.icann.org. hostmaster.icann.org. 2011061433 7200 3600 1209600 3600

=head1 TIMEOUTS

Lookups timeout after 15 seconds by default, but this can be configured
by passing I<timeout =E<gt> X> to C<nslookup>.

=head1 DEBUGGING

Pass I<debug =E<gt> 1> to C<nslookup> to emit debugging messages to STDERR.
