Package: libnet-dns-perl
Version: 0.66-2
Severity: normal
Net::DNS will output the following error (at least) when calling the mx()
function with warnings enabled:
| Argument "AI_NUMERICHOST" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at
| /usr/lib/perl5/Net/DNS/Resolver/Base.pm line 743.
Short script to reproduce:
------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -W
use strict;
use Net::DNS;
my $resolver = Net::DNS::Resolver->new(udp_timeout => 15, tcp_timeout => 15);
my @mxrr = mx($resolver,'debian.org');
------------------------------
That did not happen with libnet-dns-perl 0.63-2 from old-stable.
Google knows of (just) one other mention of this warning (at least as far
as I could find) at <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445314>,
but that was not helpful for me.
Regards,

I'm closing this bug as I'm unable to reproduce it on current testing,
stable or even oldoldstable (wheezy). My guess is that it had to do with
Perl 5.10 and has since disappeared.
Thank you for taking the time to report it, and for providing code that
makes it possible to validate the bug even after so many years.
