briefly, risolve is clobbering your $_ which is the default place to which you read the records from the DNS handle. $_ is a global variable so this self same $_ is then used as the key for your hash.

while (my $discard = <DNS>) {1}; # this would fix it

If risolve is intended to resolve the IP address of the hosts you can do this with pure Perl using gethostbyname. This will return a record that you will need to process to get human readable IP address, the linked docco explains how to do this.

Cheers,
R.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
