It seems that SA misbehave when the ENV environment variable exists or is defined. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=297394 Could you check if your issue is related, or whether or not the ENV environment variable is defined in your shell, and which shell it is? A wild guess is that it looks like there is a bug in SA that messes up perl's %ENV when ENV exists in the shell environment, somehow. (Net::DNS looks up environment variables during initialization, for the mentioned PR it looks like the PATH was mangled?) Best regards, Benjamin
