I am making the assumption that end users want what Net::DNS claims to
provide:  Perl interface to the Domain Name System.

The internal components like Header.pm exist to facilitate that
primary mission. Injecting corrupt packets into the global DNS is a
violation of the relevant standards; the design should, where
possible, minimise that risk.

Larry said nothing about breaking usenet.
