Hi folks,

I'm looking for a module, or some snippets, or whatever, for doing basic manipulation of BIND zone files, and named.conf.

I'd like to be able to create a new zone, or delete an existing zone. They'll all follow pretty much the same template.

I could sit down and write this, but other people must have done it so many times that I was surprised not to find anything on CPAN (perhaps I've missed something obvious). Also, not knowing BIND very well, I'm afraid there might be Hidden Traps.

I've already found: Net::DNS::Update, BIND::Conf::Parser, Net::Bind.

All assistance appreciated.
Cheers,
andy.
