How To Install libzonemaster-ldns-perl on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libzonemaster-ldns-perl on Debian 12.
What is libzonemaster-ldns-perl
libzonemaster-ldns-perl is:
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 one wants a module that specifically aims to be a complete and transparent interface to ldns, DNS::LDNS is a better fit than this module.
