I can execute the following SQL query in MySQL:
mysql> SELECT INET_ATON('192.168.1.100');
+----------------------------+
| INET_ATON('192.168.1.100') |
+----------------------------+
| 3232235876 |
+----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
I can then execute another query to reverse the process:
mysql> SELECT INET_NTOA('3232235876');
+-------------------------+
| INET_NTOA('3232235876') |
+-------------------------+
| 192.168.1.100 |
+-------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
How would I duplicate this process in Perl? There is an ‘inet_aton’ operator in Perl but it does not return a decimal number as shown above. I would like the ability to print this number out to the screen.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Socket;
my $string = inet_aton("204.87.241.1");
print "$string\n";
Thanks in advance for any help.
