UUSSAAGGEE
       WWhhyy ddooeess Net::DNS::Resolver::query() rreettuurrnn uunnddeeff wwhheenn tthhee AANNSSWWEERR
       sseeccttiioonn iiss eemmppttyy??

       The short answer is, don't use query().  Net::DNS::Resolver::send()
       will always return the answer packet, as long as an answer was
       received.

       The longer answer is that query() is modeled after the resquery()
       function from the libresolv C library, which has similar behaviors.
