GENERAL QUESTIONS
       Why does Net::DNS::Resolver::query() return undef when the ANSWER section is empty?

       The short answer is, don't use query().	Net::DNS::Resolver::send() will always return the answer packet, as long as an answer was
       received.

       The longer answer is that query() is modeled after the res_query() function from the libresolv C library, which has similar behaviors.
