WM: DNS resolver set to search a domain with wildcard DNS makes several tests fail

[spazm]

robin.sm...@gmail.com reported on Jul 6, 2009

These two patches should make it possible to detect if the system has a
misconfigured DNS setup and skip the live tests.

I might suggest to actually bail out instead of just skipping, as this
is a pretty severe configuration error of the OS in my opinion.

These patches are against version 1.24.

Is this still a bummer against 1.54 or later?

The versions I'm talking about is WWW::Mechanize 1.54 and Test::WWW::Mechanize 1.24.

So the answer is: yes
