Hello!

So, I'm writing this script. However I'm facing a problem. So say I have a list of users on my network. Now all the IP address are dynamically assigned. However the user-names are constant. Now i need a way to get the IP address of a certain user on the network.

Say you have users and IP address.: 

joe  -- 192.168.0.100
bob  -- 192.168.0.57
angel - 192.168.0.239
cady -- 192.168.0.12
Now, joe knows the name of each user on the network. So how can he find say angel. And then open a socket or connection to angels computer? This needs to be done in perl...

Thanks for the help!
