Hello all I am trying to write simple perl script to to ip resolution to Domain names this is the script
#/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use Socket; print "Ip address "; my $ipaddr = <STDIN>;#/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use Socket; print "Ip address "; my $ipaddr = <STDIN>; $peer_host = gethostbyaddr($ipaddr, AF_INET); $peer_addr = inet_ntoa($peer_host); print $peer_addr;
The error that I am getting is
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at huh2 line 7, <STDIN> + line 1. Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa, length is 0, should be 4 at huh2 + line 7, <STDIN> line 1. Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at huh2 line 7, <STDIN> + line 1. Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa, length is 0, should be 4 at huh2 + line 7, <STDIN> line 1.
