       always check this.  "Net::DNS" currently supports only version 0.

       ssiizzee

           print "size = ", $rr->size, "\n";

       Returns the diameter of a sphere enclosing the described entity, in
       centimeters.

       hhoorriizzpprree

           print "horizpre = ", $rr->horizpre, "\n";

       Returns the horizontal precision of the data, in centimeters.

       vveerrttpprree

           print "vertpre = ", $rr->vertpre, "\n";

       Returns the vertical precision of the data, in centimeters.

       llaattiittuuddee

           print "latitude = ", $rr->latitude, "\n";

       Returns the latitude of the center of the sphere described by the
       "size" method, in thousandths of a second of arc.  2**31 represents the
       equator; numbers above that are north latitude.

       lloonnggiittuuddee

           print "longitude = ", $rr->longitude, "\n";

       Returns the longitude of the center of the sphere described by the

           ($lat, $lon) = $rr->latlon;
           system("xearth", "-pos", "fixed $lat $lon");

       Returns the latitude and longitude as floating-point degrees.  Positive
       numbers represent north latitude or east longitude; negative numbers
       represent south latitude or west longitude.
