NAME
Net::hostent - by-name interface to Perl's built-in
gethost*() functions
SYNOPSIS
use Net::hostnet;
DESCRIPTION
This module's default exports override the core
gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() functions, replacing
them with versions that return "Net::hostent" objects. This
object has methods that return the similarly named structure
field name from the C's hostent structure from netdb.h;
namely name, aliases, addrtype, length, and addr_list. The
aliases and addr_list methods return array reference, the
rest scalars. The addr method is equivalent to the zeroth
element in the addr_list array reference.
You may also import all the structure fields directly into
your namespace as regular variables using the :FIELDS import
tag. (Note that this still overrides your core functions.)
Access these fields as variables named with a preceding h_.
Thus, $host_obj->name() corresponds to $h_name if you import
the fields. Array references are available as regular array
variables, so for example @{ $host_obj->aliases() } would be
simply @h_aliases.
The gethost() function is a simple front-end that forwards a
numeric argument to gethostbyaddr() by way of
Socket::inet_aton, and the rest to gethostbyname().
To access this functionality without the core overrides,
pass the use an empty import list, and then access function
functions with their full qualified names. On the other
hand, the built-ins are still available via the CORE::
pseudo-package.
EXAMPLES
use Net::hostent;
use Socket;
@ARGV = ('netscape.com') unless @ARGV;
for $host ( @ARGV ) {
unless ($h = gethost($host)) {
warn "$0: no such host: $host\n";
next;
}
printf "\n%s is %s%s\n",
$host,
lc($h->name) eq lc($host) ? "" : "*really* ",
$h->name;
print "\taliases are ", join(", ", @{$h->aliases}), "\n"
if @{$h->aliases};
if ( @{$h->addr_list} > 1 ) {
my $i;
for $addr ( @{$h->addr_list} ) {
printf "\taddr #%d is [%s]\n", $i++, inet_ntoa($addr);
}
} else {
printf "\taddress is [%s]\n", inet_ntoa($h->addr);
}
if ($h = gethostbyaddr($h->addr)) {
if (lc($h->name) ne lc($host)) {
printf "\tThat addr reverses to host %s!\n", $h->name;
$host = $h->name;
redo;
}
}
}
NOTE
While this class is currently implemented using the
Class::Struct module to build a struct-like class, you
shouldn't rely upon this.
