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:

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:

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.

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