As I recall, Net::DNS works fine under MacPerl provided you deal with the
/etc/resolv.conf problem. I simply put a resolv.conf in the same folder as
DNS.pm and changed the path accordingly. (If you don't know the format,
let me know and I can send you one.) "Compilation problems" sounds as if
you forgot to change the end-of-line of the files.
