10 years later and I have this exact same problem. Can't figure out how to add a PTR record using Net::DNS. I wonder if OP ever figured this out...

The syntax of my rr_add is: rr_add(X.XXX.XXX.XX.in-addr.arpa 3600 PTR hostname.mydomain.com.)

Is this correct? Thanks in advance... 
   # Create the update packet:
   my $update = Net::DNS::Update->new($OURDOMAIN);

   #  Add the PTR record:
   $update->push(update => rr_add("$rev 3600 PTR $hst"));

   # Send the update to the zone's primary master.
   my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;
   $res->nameservers("$OURNMSERV");

   my $reply = $res->send($update);
