Martin-
Thanks for the quick fix for the PATH problem. Here is another
suggestion.
On Sun workstations, if you set your name by using a
non-Fully-Qualified-Domain-Name (FQDN) in the
/etc/nodename file, then Net::Address::Ethernet will
fail doing the arp, since the arp table has FQDNs in
it.
As an example:
/etc/nodename contains "snoopy"
$ arp snoopy
snoopy (192.11.45.19) -- no entry
$ arp snoopy.myfqdn.com
snoopy.myfqdn.com (123.45.67.89) at 1:2:3:4:5 permanent published
Many folks use non-FQDNs this way when they want to use
dhcp to acquire an IP address, and have their nodename used
on whatever domain they plug into.
The fix for this should be pretty easy. Instead of using Sys::Hostname
to get the hostname, I would suggest using Net::Domain.
Here's a quick example:
$ perl -e 'use Net::Domain hostfqdn; print hostfqdn(),"\n"'
snoopy.myfqdn.com
I don't know if this would break anything on other platforms though.
