This is Net::Bonjour, a set of perl modules to utilize DNS for service discovery. This method of service discovery is branded as Bonjour by Apple Computer. More information can be found at: http://www.zeroconf.org/ http://developer.apple.com/macosx/bonjour/index.html A list of register service types can be found at: http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html Requirements: perl >= 5.6.0 Net::DNS >= 0.44 Install the library by running these commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Please report any bugs/suggestions to George Chlipala NOTE FOR Net::Rendezvous USERS As with the change by Apple, I have updated the module to use the "Bonjour" name. I have added support for the Net::Rendezvous classes as subclasses of the cooresponding Net::Bonjour classes. Although, I would suggest updating scripts to reflect the change. KNOWN BUGS - Some special characters in domain names may not be parsed properly via Net::DNS. The pure perl implementation of dn_expand in Net::DNS can misinterpt some characters. The XS implementation using dn_expand in libc can cause Net::DNS packet decoding subroutines to fail completely.
