There are projects that are inspired on or related to Net::DNS.
ldns is a C-library with DNS related functions developed by NLnet Labs. It was inspired by the Net::DNS library.
The goal of ldns is to simplify DNS programming, it supports recent RFCs like the DNSSEC documents, and allow developers to easily create software conforming to current RFCs, and experimental software for current Internet drafts. A secondary benefit of using ldns is speed, because ldns is written in C it should be a lot faster than Perl.
pNet-DNS is a Ruby library.
A direct port of the perl Net::DNS project, allowing perl client code easily to be ported to Ruby. This project started with a straight port of perl Net::DNS 0.57. Maintainers are needed to keep the project in synch with later releases.
