  Description     : Perl interface to the ldns library

 This module provides a Perl interface to the ldns library from
 NLnet Labs and depends on it being available. The module can
 either compile and use those libraries internally or link to
 already available ldns library given that the version is high
 enough. In both cases it relies on a sufficiently recent version
 of OpenSSL being present.
 .
 This module is written as part of the Zonemaster project, and
 therefore primarily exposes the functionality needed for
 that. Since Zonemaster is a diagnostic tool, that means the
 functions most used are those for looking things up and
 inspecting them.
 .
 If you want a module that specifically aims to be a complete and
 transparent interface to ldns, DNS::LDNS is a better fit than
 this module.

This package came up while re-establishing contact with
Zonemaster upstream developpers[1].  Other Zonemaster related
packages will likely need it with their newer versions.

It should be maintained under Debian Perl team[2,3] umbrella.

(Mail resent after the original one didn't raise an entry
yesterday.  Hope this won't cause a duplicate.)

Have a nice day,  :)
