Re^2: Net::DNS::Resolver doesn't return the desired domain name

Ah, thanks! So ptrdname is the function that I've been hunting for, then.

With things fixed up this way everything is now working as it is supposed to be. Thanks!

For thinks like these, often times a good debugger/IDE can save you hours of frustration without having to add `print`. (Personally i use Komodo IDE, but probably there are a few other out there that are also very good). If you don't want to spend money or have some other reasons not to use an IDE, you can do `print 'Record is of class: ', ref($l_record), "\n";` which will result in `Record is of class: Net::DNS::RR::PTR` "For me, programming in Perl is like my cooking. The result may not always taste nice, but it's quick, painless and it get's food on the table."	[reply] [d/l] [select]
