I know nothing about these particular modules, but looking at these two pages:
https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::ISC::DHCPd https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::DHCP::Info I can see that from the Activity panel on the left that Net::ISC::DHCPd is being actively maintained while Net::DHCP::Info hasn't been updated since 2009. For that reason I'd try using Net::ISC::DHCPd first.
