hello monks

I' m in fix with the below code (that is a simplified version of my code, only to show the problem, thaks to wfsp).
use warnings; use strict; use Data::Dumper; my @temp; $temp[12] = q{one two three }; my %hash = ( alias => { map {$_ => risolve( $_ );} split / /,$temp[12] }, ); sub risolve{ my $host = shift; open DNS, "ping -l o -n 1 $host >nil|"||die; while (<DNS>) {1} ### COMMENT THIS LINE AND IT WORKS close DNS; return q{four five six}; } print Dumper \%hash;
if run as is it prints:
$VAR1 = { 'alias' => { '' => 'four five six' } };
and it warns
Use of uninitialized value in anonymous hash ({}) at wsfp-scratchpad2. +pl line 11. Use of uninitialized value in anonymous hash ({}) at wsfp-scratchpad2. +pl line 11. Use of uninitialized value in anonymous hash ({}) at wsfp-scratchpad2. +pl line 11.
but if you comment out the line while (<DNS>) {1} it prints as expected:
$VAR1 = { 'alias' => { 'three' => 'four five six', 'one' => 'four five six', 'two' => 'four five six' } };
what is happening?
thanks in advance
