NAME

       Net::DNS::Lite - a pure-perl DNS resolver with support for timeout

SYNOPSIS

           use Net::DNS::Lite qw(inet_aton);

           # drop-in replacement for Socket::inet_aton
           $Net::DNS::Lite::TIMEOUT = 5; # global timeout variable
           my $addr = inet_aton("www.google.com");

           # or per-query timeout
           my $addr = inet_aton("www.google.com", $timeout_in_seconds);

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a replacement function for Socket::inet_aton, with support for
       timeouts.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

   $Net::DNS::Lite::TIMEOUT
       maximum time (in seconds) inet_aton will block (default: 10)

   $Net::DNS::Lite::CACHE
       if set, Net::DNS::Lite will cache the DNS responses internally using the supplied cache
       object.  The cache object should support "get", "set", and "remove" functions (default:
       none)

   $Net::DNS::Lite::CACHE_TTL
       maximum ttl of the cached entries (in seconds).  Only has effect when
       $Net::DNS::Lite::CACHE is set.
