Since I'm not able to test the code myself, I was expecting you to actually try to read it first, before running it. Just because you don't know much about programming now, this doesn't mean you can't start to learn a little about programming...

The line cited in the error message is the place where you have to insert some code yourself, which will translate the host name into an IP address (this is mentioned in the comment next to that line). Do you not know how you are getting the IP address for a given host name in your existing script?

Let's suppose you use a unix command like "host" to get an IP address -- e.g., on my macosx/BSD box, looking up the IP for perlmonks.org goes like this: 

$ host www.perlmonks.org
www.perlmonks.org is an alias for perlmonks.org.
perlmonks.org has address 209.197.123.153
perlmonks.org has address 66.39.54.27

Probably you'll only get one IP per host in your list, and in any case, the first IP you get will probably work. So replace that line causing the error with something like these two lines: 
    my $ip = `host $host`;
    $ip =~ s/.*?(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+).*/$1/s;

Now, if that fixes the syntax error but other problems still remain, you can just keep popping back for more corrections (which will annoy the rest of us), or you can start looking things up on your own, and see if you can figure out what to try next.
