Re: Need help with script with a while loop reading file

[blue_cowdawg]

while (my $hname =<FILE>) {
chomp $hname;
my $res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new(
  nameservers => [qw(8.8.8.8)],
);
my $query = $res->search($hname);

if ($query) {
  foreach my $rr ($query->answer) {
    next unless $rr->type eq "A";
    print "Found an A record for $_: ".$rr->address;
    print "\n";
  }
}
}

I admit I am showing my prejudice here, but I prefer to use implicit variables. That said, note the minor modifications I made to your code, the most important being the "chomp" to remove the EOL from the string. Otherwise you are looking up a hostname that ends in EOL.

Thank you for the quick response. Definitely forgot the chomp.
