Problem seems indeed to be in p5-Net-DNS. From the perldoc:

A test program:

>highland% more test.pl
>use Net::DNS;
>my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;

The output:

>highland% perl test.pl

Time to investigate portdowngrade :-(

As an aside, why are there so many places for storing Perl modules
on FreeBSD? It seems there are four locations:

/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.2
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.2/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.2
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.2/mach

This seems a litle excessive - wouldn't one be enough?
