    Fetching Network Info

    All right, this is my last post on this issue. This will work: $addr = '172.17.141.1';#Can be any IP address $ip = inet_aton($addr);#Still the key to success $client = gethostbyaddr($ip, AF_INET); # get client name if ($client){print $addr, " : ", $client, "\n";}#For giggles...

    Fetching Network Info

    Not sure how the file your trying to read in is formatted. but hopefully this code may give your mind a spark to achieve your goal: #!/usr/bin/perl -w open (IN, &quot;<tstfile.txt&quot;) or die &quot;Cannot open file: $&&quot;; @answers = <IN>; foreach $ans (@answers){ chomp($ans); if ($ans...
