When I run your code, I don't get any such error. Are you sure that this is the code that produced the error? Further: > $dotted-inet_ntoa($packed); did you mean $dotted = inet_ntoa($packed); (you used a - minus sign instead of a = assignment operator) > print "DOtted Address is $packed"; did you mean print "Dotted Address is $dotted\n"; you were printing the wrong variable. With these changes, I get a dotted ip address which matches the output of "host www.google.com" Philip -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
