Just grab the SA tarball from CPAN, install, add your customizations, and voila, you're done! > > You might want to fire up CPAN and upgrade Net::DNS. > [choke].

Just don't run CPAN in its auto-install mode, if you fear it might screw things up. Again, just grab: http://search.cpan.org/~olaf/Net-DNS-0.65/ Untar, run: perl ./Makefile.PL make make test make install And you're done. Easy-peasy. - Mark
