gethostbyaddr in perl?

[Richie0x]

In php you can resolve an IP address to the hostname using gethostbyaddr() but how do you do it in Perl?

[VectorJ]

Not quite as streamlined as PHP, but still not too bad:

use Socket; 
my $ipaddr = inet_aton("****.xxx.xxx.xxx"); 
my $host = gethostbyaddr($ipaddr, AF_INET); 

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address you're looking up.
