I suggest you to use Net::DNS. It is not very hard since there is no complex output handling. It has quite simple API and it doesn't require you to do any parsing.

P.S. Another reason to avoid nslookup is that it is deprecated. 


bash-2.05a$ nslookup
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup wit
+h
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
