in reply to New to Perl

Heh. I used to live in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, and "thrown to the fishes" meant that you'd never have any kind of problem again (Perl included.)

So... what are you trying to do? "need to {...} create a log with a list of IP address{es}" is kinda obscure - and adding a list of modules to it doesn't help. Can you explain exactly what you're trying to do? If you just need to generate a list of IPs between two endpoints, it's not that hard - and doesn't require any modules. So, details, please?

    Okay so wrong term to use maybe wolves instead of fishes. So here is what I'm wanting to do: Enter the first and last address of a network. Have to code for this already and have it validating as IPv4. Then create a log file with the entire range between these user inputs so that I have a full list of all IP's on the network. Following that I'd like to be able to ping all IP's in that logged range and determine if a device is located on that address. Then re-log only the discovered devices and grab the information about the discovered device. Hope that makes a bit more sense.
