Thank you for the help earlier, but I am still having a problem. 1) I can get gethostbyname to work in this format: gethostbyname('node.foo.com'). I need it to work in the following format: gethostbyname($nodename). Is this not set up for that?
2) I tried to alternatively use getnetbyname, but I don't think that it is loaded into the standard distrabution. I bet it has something to do with the fact that I am trying to do this with Active Perl on NT. Thank for the help ahead of time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
