I don't speak the Perl, much.  If you have Ruby/IRB this might be what
you're asking for:

matt at blacksmith:~/$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'socket'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> target=TCPSocket.gethostbyname('www.reboottheuser.com')
=> ["wsip-70-168-35-116.om.om.cox.net", [], 2, "70.168.35.116"]
irb(main):003:0>
