Your script needs to handle the exception condition.<br><br> my $zone = new Net::DNS::ZoneFile( $filename );<br> <br> loop { # through RRs in zone file<br><br> my $rr = eval { $zone->read; }; # which knows about multi-line RRs<br>

I have a script that reads zones from files on disk and also via zone transfer. Currently, when reading in data, if the script encounters a record for which Net::DNS does not implement a record type class, the script dies. The immediate case looks like this:<br>
<br>
WKS not implemented at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int/Net/DNS/RR.pm line 630.<br>
new Net:NS::RR( ... ) at ./<a href="http://dnsdiff.pl/" target="_blank">dnsdiff.pl</a> line 300<br>
<br>
Short of hacking Net::DNS::RR, how can I handle this without dying and without losing any records coming after the unknown record type in a zone transfer?<br>
<br>

Chris Buxton<br>
