Don't have Fedora 10 installed anymore, but the F-11 packages should
be equivalent, and on F-11 I get this:
test
-----------------------------
$VAR1 = 'www.l.google.com';
$VAR2 = 'www.google.com';
$VAR3 = 2;
$VAR4 = 4;
$VAR5 = 'J}';
$VAR6 = 'J}c';
$VAR7 = 'J}g';
$VAR8 = 'J}h';
$VAR9 = 'J}i';
$VAR10 = 'J}j';
(1 row)
I don't know enough about either gethostbyname or Data::Dumper
to figure out if this is sane or not.
