Net::Jabber module, problem

ICh has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, everybody!

I tried to study the Net::Jabber module; unfortunatelly, the example rpc_client.pl died:

Cannot resolve linux-cf8p: at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/XML/Stream.pm line 409

This name is the name of my computer. The line reads:

my $address = gethostbyname($hostname) || die("Cannot resolve $hostname: $!");

Therefore, the built-in gethostbyname cannot resolve the real name of my computer.

No idea what to do.

Thanks a lot.

So what do you get when you run `perl -MData::Dump -e"dd( gethostbyname(q{localhost}) )"`	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for your answer. `perl -MData::Dump -e"dd( gethostbyname(q{localhost}) )"` gives ("localhost", "", 2, 4, "\x7F\0\0\1")	[reply] [d/l]
