Is it possible to query DNS for a SRV record in perl?

[K R. <kr...@ya...>]

Hi.  I posted the message below to the perl beginners
mailing list, but the only response I got involved
writing a perl script for a Windows server. Is that
the only way? The only thing I can think of is to
specify a lot of different servers, at least one of
which must contain the GC, but I'm hoping there's a
better way.
Thanks.
 
My boss has assigned me the job of putting together a
web page with employees' contact information pulled
from the Microsoft Exchange server. I was able to
write a script using Net::LDAP with Exchange 5.5, but
the company is now in the process of migrating to
Exchange 2000. The adminstrator told me that the
employee information is now kept in the Global
Catalog, but that I couldn't specify a server because
the GC is sometimes transferred among servers.
Instead, he suggested that I query DNS for the SRV
record, which looks like this: 
_.gc._tcp.us-city._sites.company.com. 

It worked when I used nslookup from a DOS prompt, but
I'm not sure how to look it up in UNIX. 
I tried the Net::DNS module, but I honestly couldn't
figure out how (or if) it works for looking up SRV
records. 

Please, please, please tell me someone knows how. I
don't want to have to write the program in ASP.

Thanks!
Kary
