blackstealth has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Fellow Monks i come to you in a bit of a pickle. I have been asked to parse some access logs and give feedback on who is using a utility ( the logs are very apache like) i have broken it down to where i can get day and ip and all that but they didn't like having the "ip address" cause they don't know what that ip is so i am using Net::Nslookup. I can get type => 'A' records and have turned on all the debugging and the dns is returning but i am not getting a value back i have even thought of the fact that it may be an arrary and haven't found anything there either.
I have even created some test code and it does not work. I will use the test code to post here as it is much smaller and has the same issue:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Net::Nslookup; my $ip = nslookup( domain => 'www.yahoo.com', type => 'A' ); my $fqdn = nslookup ( domain => $ip, type => 'PTR' ); print "$ip -> $fqdn \n";
output: 69.147.76.15 -> Debug Output: Performing 'A' lookup on `www.yahoo.com' at ./test.pl line 9 Performing 'PTR' lookup on `69.147.76.15' at ./test.pl line 11 ;; search(69.147.76.15, PTR) ;; setting up an AF_INET() family type UDP socket ;; send_udp(24.28.201.85:53) ;; answer from 24.28.201.85:53 : 251 bytes ;; HEADER SECTION ;; id = 46054 ;; qr = 1 opcode = QUERY aa = 0 tc = 0 rd = 1 ;; ra = 1 ad = 0 cd = 0 rcode = NOERROR ;; qdcount = 1 ancount = 1 nscount = 5 arcount = 5 ;; QUESTION SECTION (1 record) ;; 15.76.147.69.in-addr.arpa.
