Overrides the core gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr functions with object-oriented versions that return Net::hostent objects. The objects have methods that return the fields of the same name from the hostent structure in netdb.h:
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
addr |
Address of host, for backward compatibility |
|
addr_list |
List of addresses returned from name server |
|
addrtype |
Host address type |
|
aliases |
List of aliases |
|
length |

You can access the structure fields with the methods or by importing the fields into your namespace with the :FIELDS import tag and accessing them by prepending h_ to the field name:
$host_obj->name( ) $h_name
