heh... one way that you can do this. though certainly not the most elegant solution.
You should be able to use a combination of nslookup, ping, and arp to get your answers;
this assumes an NT workstation.
you can use nslookup to get the ip address of the host. Then you can ping the host
putting an entry in the arp table of IP to MACAddress. After that you parse the output
of
arp -a to get the MACAddress. oh what the heck...
----
#it works on my machine! :)
chomp(my $host = shift);
chomp($ip = (grep{s/.*\[([\d\.]+)\].*/$1/} `ping $host`)[0]);
$mac = (grep{s/.+$ip\s+([\d\w-]+)\s.*/$1/}`arp -a`)[0];
print $mac . "\n";
