Perl - Convert IPv4 address to hexadecimal

I'm trying to write a perl script that asks user to input their ipv4 address and convert it into hexadecimals. For example, user enters "130.130.68.1" which will return "0x82.0x82.0x44.0x01". How can i do this?

0x82.0x82.0x44.0x01:

my $hex =
   join ".",
      map { sprintf "0x%02X", $_ }
         split /\./,
            $ip;

or

my $hex = $ip =~ s/[^.]+/ sprintf "0x%02X", $& /reg;

That said, 0x82.0x82.0x44.0x01 is a really weird way of writing 8282260116, the 32-bit number 130.130.68.1 represents.

0x82824401:

use Socket qw( inet_aton );

my $hex = '0x' . unpack('H*', inet_aton('130.130.68.1'));

0x82.82.44.01:

use Socket qw( inet_aton );

my $hex = '0x' . join('.', unpack('(H2)*', inet_aton('130.130.68.1')));

Both of these also with domain names.
