Now im trying to re-create that, but without net::dns::resolver. just with packing or some other solution. so far im not getting the data i need, help is appreciated, and since i have virtual no network knowledge prior to this.. its hard.

:) You know thats not funny at all, right?

See Convert::Binary::C its what perlpacktut recommends

I hear you, that's just another module ... its got wisdom for you about portability and fun :)
