Ah, you are correct: you have to use getaddrinfo, but I'm not sure that
Perl has been updated to reflect this...

I'd have to look at the rest of the code, but if gethostbyname fails, and
if you remove the nmb stuff, you're left with a hostname. The question
is, does the rest of the code work with a host name string rather than an
IP address?
