Hi- I heard about the 'perl monks' and had no where else to turn to. I have a whois script (from geektools) that takes a source ip and looks it up into several database registries to get information. The original script gets a standard input from the user but I need to give it a specific ip address. When I do this (192.32.13.45) it gives me 192.3213.45. The spacing is off somewhere but I can't find where. Can someone please help me! I need this script asap and I've been trying several things for quite a while now. The script is very long and I don 't want to post it here but here is the part where it splits the ip. If anyone wants to really help, I can send it to you personally via an attachment. Thanks so much monks!

## Location of TLD/Whois server list.
my $RSList = "/export/home/manager/whois/whoislist";
## Default whois server (don't undef this)
$DefaultNic = "whois.networksolutions.com";

my $sip=  192.35.75.55;
#print "IP ADDRESS:  $QueryIn ";
 # my $QueryIn = <STDIN>;
my $QueryIn = $sip;
chomp $QueryIn;

if ($QueryIn eq "") {
   &ShowResults();
   exit 0;
}

my @QueryArray    = split /\./, $QueryIn;
my $QueryElements = @QueryArray;

my $OrigQuery     = $QueryIn;
$QueryIn       =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;

my @SuffixArray   = split /\ /,$QueryIn;
my $SuffixElements= @SuffixArray - 1;
$SuffixArray[$SuffixElements] =~ tr/a-z.,0-9\-\+//cd;
$QueryIn       =~ tr/a-z.,0-9\-\@\!\ \+\:\///cd;
