After an offline conversation with Willem Toorop over the weekend,
they have now released 0.71 with several bug fixes, along with
temporarily reverting the double quoting issue, until we get
our release fixed.
This is from the Net::DNS 0.71 'Changes' file:
**** 0.71 Dec 15, 2012
Temporary workaround rt.cpan.org #81760
The rdatastr method for TXT RRs will return unconditionally
quoted rdata fields to work around an issue with updating
SpamAssassin rules. This workaround will be reverted after
release of a version of SpamAssassin which resolves the issue.
Meanwhile we should be suggesting people to either apply the
sa-update fix, or go for Net::DNS 0.71, or stick with 0.68,
but stay away froom Net::DNS 0.69 and 0.70.
