Use Net::DNS module instead. gethostbyname() isn't really designed for that
kind of thing.

I think gethostbyname uses the nameservers listed in
/etc/resolv.conf but what does that have to do with perl?
try man gethostbyname

Thanks,

Thank you Oliver. This is what I want. It is faster than my nslookup
script. Thank you.

Hi,
whats wrong with using gethostbyaddr from the Socket package? A lot easier,
faster and slicker. Have you looked at this?

$iaddr = inet_aton($ip); # or whatever address
$name = gethostbyaddr($
Can anyone tell me how to perform a dns lookup using perl?
I am using nslookup, what is a better way to do this?

#!/opt/local/bin/perl
%dns = &NSLOOKUP($ARGV[0]);
print "\n ip = $dns{Address} host = $dns{
I think you can use gethostbyaddr() for this.

It sounds very simple, an I implemented it with "nslookup ip" (loop for 250

I tried "host -al" (which produces a long list of hos
