Maybe it comes in the statement before that:
$nodename = <STDIN>;
$iaddr = gethostbyname($nodename);
($a,$b,$c,$d) = unpack('C4',$iaddr);
$ipaddress = "$a.$b.$c.$d";
print $ipaddress;
I have debugged this numerous times and I can't seem to understand why gethostbyname
does not return anything. I have tried with both the hostname and the
hostname.foo.com notation and it does not work.
It does work when I replace $nodename with 'node.foo.com' but I can't get the imputed
variable to work?
Thanks,
Nate.

$nodename='node.foo.com';
$ent=gethostbyname($nodename);
where is your problem?
example:
use Socket;
use Net::hostent;
$h = gethostbyname("www.perl.com");
print "name:", $h->name," address:",inet_ntoa($h->addr),"\n",
