Undefined subroutine &main::inet_aton called at dnscheck.pl line 15.

Hmmmm..... What exactly is unclear in this error message? It is pretty much plain English.

In case you wonder about the &main:: part: Subroutine names in Perl always belong to some package. If you don't write your own package definition, Perl assumes that you are in package main. Hence, Perl looks for the subroutine inet_aton in Package main.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
