I suspect that is your problem.

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

# usage
if($Host eq "none"){

+n name\n";
    exit();

      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?
