I'd need a way of returning a random pick of a limited number of

Something like this?

use List::Util qw( shuffle );

foreach my $rr ( $packet->answer() ) { if( $rr->type =~ /$rr/i ) { push
@records, $rr->string; } }
my @shuffled = shuffle @records; # Not that they'll likely need it.
return splice( @shuffled, 0, 5 );
}

Untested. Needs work. YMMV.
