Hi list,
1. Does anyone know of a module in CPAN which lets you implement the netstat function
within Perl code? I was expecting to see something like netstat.pm, but a CPAN search
turned up nothing.
2. If there's no such module, why not? Any guesses? It's seems like the kind of
thing that gets turned into a module, since most IP-related UNIX functions end up in a
module eventually (e.g. mail, HTTP, FTP, etc., etc.).
I have a script which uses the output from netstat. I'm shelling out to run netstat
to get the results into my script, but it would seem better, for a number of reasons,
to be able to do it completely within your own code.
And, now, comPLETEly off-topic ... when running netstat, I'm used to seeing numeric IP
addresses and alphanumeric domain names in the results. But, every so often, I see
something that looks like a NETBIOS machine name. What up with that? Is this
expected netstat behavior? Here are some of the values I've seen:
ARBAY112
ATHALON12
BRAD
CHICO
COMPUTER
DGSMS521
DIEGO
E6E8L8
HPPAV
INFO16
KKKK
OEMCOMPUTER
PC
PKWWW
Q6A1W7
RANDY
SAMTHEGREAT
U8F1M4
V4W3Y9
VALE
VLADO
Does anyone know what condition this represents? (I realize this last bit is really
OT; if anyone knows of a more appropriate group I would be grateful for the lead.)
TIA.
