Thanks. I did it slightly modified borrowing the -l from kennethk above:

(Windows 7 x64 / Strawberry Perl v5.18.1 MSWin32-x64-multi-thread)

VinsWorldcomC:\Users\VinsWorldcom\tmp> perl -alnF"/\./" -e "print join + q{.}, reverse @F" zones.txt 10.100.1 10.100.2 10.100.3

    Nice. And golf it down with -E/say:
    perl -anlF"/\./" -E"say join q{.},reverse@F" zones.txt
      Golf? -p and $_= save you one space over -n and say:
      perl -aplF"/\./" -E"$_=join q{.},reverse@F" zones.txt
      and a manual split takes less than -F (assuming you don't get flags for free):
      perl -lpE"$_=join q{.},reverse split/\./" zones.txt
      Using $, in place of join saves you 2, except then you lose $_=
      perl -lnE"$,=q{.};say reverse split/\./" zones.txt
      but you still win w/ a regex:
      perl -pE"s/(.+)\.(.+)\.(.+)/$3.$2.$1/" zones.txt
      and to me, that one seems a whole lot more obvious than the other offerings.
