Probably because your web server is not configured to resolve the IP
address.
This, of course, has not the least thing to do with Perl.

Ah, i see.
So, i must configure somehow httpd.conf to resolve ip addresses to
hostnames?
Any ideas on how to do this?

Well, that says more about the ignorance of the people who answered your
question.

I find that hard to believe.
In any case, this is not the appropriate place to ask this question. You
can try one of:
comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix
comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows
alt.apache.configuration

On the other hand, the OP might want to avoid the performance penalty
involved in turning host name lookups on for every request, but only do
look ups when his script is accessed. For that purpose, take a look at:

That's too bad, but it does not change a web server question
into a Perl question.

Well here is *a perl* answer without the need of extra modules and even
without configuring httpd.conf:
$ip = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};
@numbers = split (/\./,$ip);
$address = pack ("C4", @numbers);
$host = gethostbyaddr ($address, 2) || $ip;
I wish it could be written in just 1 line only, it would be great!

Which doesn't work. But -
my $host = gethostbyaddr (pack ("C4", split (/\./,$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'})), 2)
|| $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};
does.

Now I am annoyed as I've managed to copy and paste the wrong piece of code
twice. The following *will* work.
my $host = gethostbyaddr (pack ("C4", split (/\./,$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'})), 2)
|| $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};

Most things can be written in one line, and Brian showed you a way in
this case. Not sure I understand why it would be so great, though.

Why doing this splitting and packing by hand when there is already a
module for? I prefer
use Socket;
my $host = gethostbyaddr( inet_aton($ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}), AF_INET );
I couldn't test it yet, but I think this version is more portable. Are
you familiar with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses?

Yes iam.
This can be done also liek you said but that would require the use of an
extra module that would have to be downloaded from CPAN.
With the other way it, there is no need for an extra module.

What makes you think so?
In any case, I had completely forgotten about gethostbyaddr when I
posted the suggestion to use Net::DNS. I would follow Fabian's
suggestion.
