    Have you *declared* the 2 variables phenom told you about: $packet, $res?

    I suspect that is your problem.

      still crashes

      print "Web-Sorrow (Extra Tool) DNSpull v1";
    
use Net::DNS;
use Getopt::Long;

use warnings;
use strict;


my $Host = "none";
GetOptions("host=s" => \$Host);

# usage
if($Host eq "none"){
    print "Usage: perl DNSpull.pl -host example.com\n\t-host  -  domai
+n name\n";
    exit();
}

print "+ ptr mx txt A AAAA KX IN records:\n";

my $packet = Net::DNS::Packet->new($Host, "PTR", "MX", "TXT", "A", "AA
+AA");

print $packet->string;

        It's not crashing for me anymore, but it's not returning much information either. I assume you're trying to get information that would be returned from the "dig" command (such as dig www.example.com ANY), but I don't get that response from this module.

        Frankly, I can't make heads or tails of the module's documentation. Is there a reason you chose this one over (e.g.) Net::DNS?

    Did you fix those errors I mentioned in the previous post?

    Also, I don't believe there's a "query" method in that module. Are you thinking of a different module? Try re-reading the documentation for that module.
