I have a DNS zone file that I parsed to just the network addresses. They look like this:

1.100.10 2.100.10 3.100.10

They are in "reverse" order and I'd like to find a Perl one-liner to put them right. I've already solved my problem with a script:

use strict; use warnings; open my $fh, "<", "zones.txt"; my @lines = <$fh>; close $fh; for (@lines) { chomp $_; my @F = split /\./, $_; print join ('.', reverse @F) . "\n" }

Output would be like:

10.100.1 10.100.2 10.100.3

I'm sure there must be a one-liner with something like "perl -ape -F/./ "stuff here" zone.txt" ... but I just can't get it work. Of course I'm on Windows, so that makes the whole single quote / double quote thing a bit tricky too.
