Are the special cases for Net::DNS still useful ?

[bschmalhofer]

In the code there are several cases with special handling for Net::DNS. E.g. in bin/otobo.CheckModules.pl:

    # Test if all module dependencies are installed by requiring the module.
    #   Don't do this for Net::DNS as it seems to take very long (>20s) in a
    #   mod_perl environment sometimes.
    my %DontRequire = (
        'Net::DNS'     => 1,
        'Email::Valid' => 1,    # uses Net::DNS internally
    );

Is this still necessary? I recall that tests can take a long time, but actual loading seems to be fast.

bes:~/devel/OTOBO/otobo (issue-#27-remove_RPC_pm)$ time perl -MNet::DNS -E 'say $INC{"Net/DNS.pm"}'
/usr/share/perl5/Net/DNS.pm

Someone can have a look at this.

The workaround was added in 2014, see znuny/Znuny@1ce2561 . OTOBO currently requires Perl 5.24 which was released in May 2016. So let's assume that this is no longer an issue in newer versionsions of Net::DNS. Let's required Net::DNS 1.05 which was released in March 2016.

Special handling of Net::DNS is gone. Closing this issue.
