NAME
    Net::DNS::Lite - a pure-perl DNS resolver with support for timeout

SYNOPSIS
        use Net::DNS::Lite qw(inet_aton);

        # drop-in replacement for Socket::inet_aton
        $Net::DNS::Lite::TIMEOUT = 5; # global timeout variable
        my $addr = inet_aton("www.google.com");

        # or per-query timeout
        my $addr = inet_aton("www.google.com", $timeout_in_seconds);

DESCRIPTION
    This module provides a replacement function for Socket::inet_aton, with
    support for timeouts.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
  $Net::DNS::Lite::TIMEOUT
    maximum time (in seconds) inet_aton will block (default: 10)

  $Net::DNS::Lite::CACHE
    if set, Net::DNS::Lite will cache the DNS responses internally using the
    supplied cache object. The cache object should support "get", "set", and
    "remove" functions (default: none)

  $Net::DNS::Lite::CACHE_TTL
    maximum ttl of the cached entries (in seconds). Only has effect when
    $Net::DNS::Lite::CACHE is set.
