in reply to Of Net::Arp and Hashes

I never used Net::ARP module but I don't believe the reason for this issue is related to Taint mode.

My guess is that the values of IP address that you need to pass to the module must have a "proper format" (like using pack and unpack with the Socket module).

Anyway... if your program just needs to loop over a couple of IP address why don't you just use an array? It should run faster and with less memory consumption.

    The original program I'm using Net::ARP in has other values in the datastore from which I'm retrieving the ip addresses; I just removed as much as possible to isolate the issue. Thank you for the suggestion, though.
