gethostbyname() returns a list. You can coerce that list to become an
array and then just grab that last element:
my @addresses = (gethostbyname($hostname))[4];
foreach (@addresses) {
print join('.', unpack('C4',$_)), "\n";
}

Why are you doing this to me?
Because knowledge is torture, and there must be awareness before
there is change.
