Thanks! That diagnosis is spot on: dnssec-verify is sending all its output
to STDERR as demonstrated by:-
>[matthew@m71 ~]$ dnssec-verify -I text -o itconsult.net itconsult.net.zone
>>temp-out 2>temp-err
>[matthew@m71 ~]$ ls -l temp-*
>-rw-rw-r-- 1 matthew matthew 279 Feb 7 09:34 temp-err
>-rw-rw-r-- 1 matthew matthew 0 Feb 7 09:34 temp-out
The fix (well, lash up) in Perl then becomes:-
$resp = `dnssec-verify -I text -o example.com example.com.zone 2>&1`;
which then gets the output from STDERR into the variable.
Let's wait for the ISC folks to see whether they think this is a bug...
Best wishes,
Matthew
