Description: Perl interface to Hesiod Library API
 These routines interface to the Hesiod Library API. Hesiod is a distributed
 database, with records stored as text records in DNS, that is used to provide
 system information in clusters such as MIT's Athena project. 
 .

 .
 Net::Hesiod provides both standard and object-orientated interfaces to the
 standard Hesiod library API. It requires the hesiod library to already be
 installed (and Hesiod configured) on the system.
 .
 Before using any of the routines, the hesiod library needs to be initialized.
 This can be done in the non-OO interface by calling hesiod_init. The scalar
 $context should be passed to subsequent calls, and when you are through with
 the Hesiod library, the resources should be explicitly freed with the
 hesiod_end routine.
