This seems like such a simple module yet I cannot get it to work. I am running this with Perl 5.10 on Cygwin. Here is my code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Net::Nslookup;

my $name=nslookup(domain=>"yahoo.com");
print("name=$name\n");

[download]
The result is just 'name='. There is no error so '$name' must be a defined variable but contains a null string.

There were no errors when I installed the module via MCPAN. When I turn debug on all I get is:

Performing 'A' lookup on `yahoo.com' at ....

I don't see how I can screw this up but obviously I am doing something wrong. Can someone help me with this? TIA.
