Has anyone successfully intalled Net:DNS on Panther?

I get the following error:

cc -c -g -pipe -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp
-fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -Os -DVERSION=\"0.41\"

Looks like panther has an odd resolv.h. I'll take a look once I get a
copy of panther. In the meantime, you can configure the package with:

perl Makefile.PL --pm

and skip the XS bits.

Just a guess, but Panther defaults to bind-9 API where as most things
expect bind-8 API. You will need to define BIND_8_COMPAT to get the
bind-8 header files. Try:

% perl Makefile.PL DEFINE=-DBIND_8_COMPAT
