Getting NetBIOS Names



I'm working on a custom PERL script here to do some reporting on Internet
usage, etc.  However, I'm running into a minor problem.

I can monitor Internet usage by IP address; however, we're using DHCP here
and IP addresses might change for the systems on my internal net.  The other
issue is that a report full of IP addresses isn't as easy to read as one
that could have the NetBIOS names in their place.

A real drastic solution I have to this is to use PERL to access the WINS
database stored on my NT Server to map IP's and NetBIOS names, but I'm
thinking that there's *got* to be an easier way.

If you have any suggestions or clues or know of any docs, faqs, howtos that
might help me out, please let me know.

Much appreciated.
