Why can't u use Net::DNS? It's pure Perl so there shouldn't be any trouble
using it anywhere on Windows. It doesn't have to be installed globally to
use it. U can copy it into ur own directory and do a use lib in ur script
to load it. Even in the worst case scenario u can copy all of the Net::DNS
code directly in ur own script.
