67     =head1 NAME
68    
69     Net::hostent - by-name interface to Perl's built-in gethost*() functions
70    
71     =head1 SYNOPSIS
72    
73     use Net::hostent;
74    
75     =head1 DESCRIPTION
76    
77     This module's default exports override the core gethostbyname() and
78     gethostbyaddr() functions, replacing them with versions that return
79     "Net::hostent" objects. This object has methods that return the similarly
80     named structure field name from the C's hostent structure from F<netdb.h>;
81     namely name, aliases, addrtype, length, and addr_list. The aliases and
82     addr_list methods return array reference, the rest scalars. The addr
83     method is equivalent to the zeroth element in the addr_list array
84     reference.
85    
86     You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace
87     as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still
88     overrides your core functions.) Access these fields as variables named
89     with a preceding C<h_>. Thus, C<$host_obj-E<gt>name()> corresponds to
90     $h_name if you import the fields. Array references are available as
91     regular array variables, so for example C<@{ $host_obj-E<gt>aliases()
92     }> would be simply @h_aliases.
93    
94     The gethost() function is a simple front-end that forwards a numeric
95     argument to gethostbyaddr() by way of Socket::inet_aton, and the rest
96     to gethostbyname().
97    
98     To access this functionality without the core overrides,
99     pass the C<use> an empty import list, and then access
100     function functions with their full qualified names.
101     On the other hand, the built-ins are still available
102     via the C<CORE::> pseudo-package.

104     =head1 EXAMPLES
105    
106     use Net::hostent;
107     use Socket;
108    
109     @ARGV = ('netscape.com') unless @ARGV;
110    
111     for $host ( @ARGV ) {
112    
113     unless ($h = gethost($host)) {
114     warn "$0: no such host: $host\n";
115     next;
116     }
117    
118     printf "\n%s is %s%s\n",
119     $host,
120     lc($h->name) eq lc($host) ? "" : "*really* ",
121     $h->name;
122    
123     print "\taliases are ", join(", ", @{$h->aliases}), "\n"
124     if @{$h->aliases};
125    
126     if ( @{$h->addr_list} > 1 ) {
127     my $i;
128     for $addr ( @{$h->addr_list} ) {
129     printf "\taddr #%d is [%s]\n", $i++, inet_ntoa($addr);
130     }
131     } else {
132     printf "\taddress is [%s]\n", inet_ntoa($h->addr);
133     }
134    
135     if ($h = gethostbyaddr($h->addr)) {
136     if (lc($h->name) ne lc($host)) {
137     printf "\tThat addr reverses to host %s!\n", $h->name;
138     $host = $h->name;
139     redo;
140     }
141     }
142     }
143    
144     =head1 NOTE
145    
146     While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct
147     module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
