Hi, I'm a little stuck, just how do you lookup MX records using perl? Plain DNS lookups are no problem, but I need something to do dig style lookups..... I'm missing something obvious I know :) Any examples would be very greatfully recived. TIA.

    If you have Net::DNS lying around this is a snap to write:

    #! /usr/local/bin/perl -w use strict; use Net::DNS; my $dns = new Net::DNS::Resolver; for my $domain( @ARGV ) { my $mx = $dns->query( $domain, 'MX' ); print "$domain\n"; foreach my $rr ($mx->answer) { print "\t", $rr->exchange, ' (', $rr->preference, ")\n"; } } __END__ output: % ./mx perl.org perlmonk.org perlmonks.org perl.com perl.org lux.valueclick.com (20) perlmail.valueclick.com (10) perlmonk.org perlmonk.org (10) perlmonks.org mail.egl.net (5) perl.com mail.perl.com (0)
