in reply to Looking for Net::DNS use syntax

change your definition of $res from 
$res = new Net::DNS::RR;

[download]
to become 
$res = new Net::DNS::Resolver;

As far as I can see, the rest looks ok, I can see 216.8.86.8 as ns1.lunarmedia.net using your script with that modification

    Thats interesting that you say you get good results from the script after you make your change. When I make the same change in my script locally, I receive: 
    defined(@array) is deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Net/DN
+S.pm line 137.
    (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
syntax error at ./ipnew line 6, near "new Net:"
Execution of ./ipnew aborted due to compilation errors.

    I have Net-DNS-0.12 installed and running

    This is perl, v5.6.0 built for i386-linux

    The part about the syntax error near new Net is just out of my grasp. Am I missing something obvious?

      Your original code only has one colon in that statement which is why you are getting the error.
      Change 
      $res = new Net:DNS::Resolver;

      so that it reads 
      $res = new Net::DNS::Resolver;
