When I first tried to install this under perl 5.6.1, I got the same
DNSBL "Not found" test failures that were reported (by someone from
hostation.com, I don't have the message handy) for the 3.0.0-pre1
release. (I had not tried to install any of the previous pre-releases
myself.)
Here are the errors:

I fixed this by upgrading with CPAN from Net::DNS 0.14 to the current
Net::DNS 0.48. This required me to first manually upgrade
Digest::SHA1 as well, because Net::DNS requires Digest::HMAC and the
dependencies in Digest::HMAC are incorrect with respect to the version
of SHA1 that it in turn requires.
With the latest Net::DNS, "make test" passes all tests. However, it
might be worth noting somewhere in the install docs that Perl 5.6.1 is
not sufficient without updated packages.
