The search service can find package by either name (apache), provides(webserver), absolute file names (/usr/bin/apache), binaries (gprof) or shared libraries (libXm.so.2) in standard path. It does not support multiple arguments yet...
The System and Arch are optional added filters, for example System could be "redhat", "redhat-7.2", "mandrake" or "gnome", Arch could be "i386" or "src", etc. depending on your system.
I originally used this module for my own purposes and never intended to show anyone, but there have been so many requests that I've decided to release it to the public. Have you ever been away from your home with your computer and needed to use the Internet, but all you can find is a crippled WiFi Access Point that doesn't give full Internet? When you try to visit a website, it asks for an annoying login or asks you to pay money or some other silly thing in order to be able to use the Internet. However, usually if you actually try a dig or nslookup, you'll notice that DNS is working perfectly fine. If so, then this is exactly what you need! It translates TCP connection packets into DNS queries. So now you can finally reach that external SSH server you've been needing to reach, even though your Internet connection is too crippled to connect to it directly. Actually, you can connect to any TCP server, such as a Web server or an SMTP server or a Squid proxy or even a remote SOCKS server. This client module IO::Socket::DNS communicates with the server module IO::Socket::DNS::Server to tunnel the connection for the client using only DNS queries as its transport. The only thing that the Internet Service Provider will see is a bunch of DNS queries.
