G'DAy mate

I run my program that uses the perl module Net:DNS

And recieve the error message

!!! WARNING The program has attempted to call the method "address" for the following RR object:
life.csu.edu.au. 86400 IN CNAME lorenz.mur.csu.edu.au
This method does not have an method "address" this is a BUG in the calling software,
which has inccorectly assumed that the object would be of an particular type.
The calling software should check the type of each RR object before calling any of it's methods.
Net:DNS has returned an undef to the caller.

This is part of my program that does a DNS lookup on inputed addresses then pings the address

     # DNS LOOKUP !

    $packet = $res->query($hostname);

    if (!$packet)
          {

           warn "Unable to lookup data for host from server";
          }

    foreach $rr ($packet->answer)  ##THE ERROR OCCURS HERE!!!
          {
           $result{$server}=$rr->address;
          }

Data::Dumper->Dump([\%result],["result"]);
