Two initial suggestions that I would make are in the code fragment: 
my $sip=  192.35.75.55;
#print "IP ADDRESS:  $QueryIn ";
 # my $QueryIn = <STDIN>;
my $QueryIn = $sip;
chomp $QueryIn;

I would put single quotes around your hard-coded ip address: 
my &sip = '192.35.75.55';

This will force it to be a string, and hence later on when you are doing a string comparison (using Queryin eq ""), this should evaluate correctly.

Also, since you are not reading this value from SYSIN, you do not need the chomp line. Now, while this in itself will not be causing a problem, it is probably safer.

What does your sub ShowResults do?
