Look at Net::DNS as that should have less overhead than using system or backticks, but keep in mind that your problem (at least as phrased) is unsolvable.
There is one and only one PTR record for a given IP; there can be an unlimited number of A records which all resolve to the same IP (not to mention CNAME aliases). There's no way to get anything other than the PTR address from DNS. If you've got a list of hostnames you could build a mapping on your own, but it's only going to be complete as your list of hostnames.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
