Well, here's a little perl script my college roommate tossed off for me:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Socket;
$host = $ARGV[0];
($name,$aliases,$addrtype,$length,@addrs) = gethostbyname($host);
foreach $addr (@addrs)
{
$straddr = inet_ntoa($addr);
print "$host: $straddr\n";
}
Unfortunately, it returns exactly the same thing on both server and client,
forward and reverse.
While $FUNDS <= $DEBT

While $current_time < 1520EDT

$FUNDS++
