Hi,

I'm slow today for some reason - maybe too little coffee, and would appreciate some wisdom. 

Net::DNS::Resolver->new(nameservers => [qw(1 2 3)]...

[download]

That's the usual usage, ie, hard coding the nameserver IPs. I want to use a variable such as @nameservers (or even the scalar $nameservers):

Net::DNS::Resolver->new(nameservers => [@nameservers]...

[download]

This works, but it only queries the first nameserver. The remainder are ignored (so it fails if the first NS is dead).

I cannot hard-code as $ns = qw(ip1 ip2 ip3 ip4), since the IPs are sourced from another variable and qw() doesn't interpolate (so I cannot do $ns = qw($ip1 $ip2 $ip3 $ip4))...

I just need to programmatically pass several nameserver IPs to Net::DNS::Resolver.

Any pointers to alleviate my dumbness would be appreciated. Thanks
