How do I take "$objItem->{DNSHostName}" and make it a variable to use later in the script. It seems to go away after the foreach is done.
use Win32::OLE('in'); use constant wbemFlagReturnImmediately => 0x10; use constant wbemFlagForwardOnly => 0x20; $computer = "10.1.50.57"; $objWMIService = Win32::OLE->GetObject ("winmgmts:\\\\$computer\\root\\CIMV2") or die "WMI connection fai +led.\n"; $colItems = $objWMIService->ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration","WQL",wbemFlagR +eturnImmediately | wbemFlagForwardOnly); foreach my $objItem (in $colItems) { next unless $objItem->{Description} eq "Intel 8255x-based +Integrated Fast Ethernet"; print "DNS Host Name: $objItem->{DNSHostName}\n"; print "IP Address: " . join(",", (in $objItem->{IPAddress})) . " +\n"; print "MAC Address: $objItem->{MACAddress}\n"; print "\n"; }
Something like..
$pcname = "$objItem->{DNSHostName}"
Thank you
