DNS errors with module

Toasterman has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello all, I am on CentOS 6 64-bit. Normally I would just install modules with the official repository, but there currently is not a perl version newer than 5.10.1, so I had to go around and use perlbrew to get to 5.16.0. I am trying to install Mail::DKIM::Verifier with cpanm but I'm getting numerous DNS errors and the test is failing. I looked in the log and most of it looks okay, it's just this part that causes everything to fail:

DNS query timeout for _domainkey.messiah.edu at /root/.cpanm/work/1407

# Looks like you planned 19 tests but ran 2.
# Looks like your test exited with 4 just after 2.
t/policy.t ...................
Dubious, test returned 4 (wstat 1024, 0x400)

Naturally, I figured I need to install Mail::DKIM::DNS which is part of the Mail::DKIM package. However, I get the exact same error when trying to install that:

DNS query timeout for _domainkey.messiah.edu at /root/.cpanm/work/1407

I know DNS servers are set up on the machine because I can ping websites.

PING google.com (4.31.38.40) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 4.31.38.40: icmp_seq=1 ttl=59 time=8.04 ms

What could be causing DNS query timeouts? Thanks in advance.

I switched to using a different DNS and it installed fine. I don't know what's wrong with the other one.	[reply]
