I can't seem to find any references to arp_lookup accepting undef as
device in the manual. I can reproduce your issue, but actually setting
device to something makes it work. I'm inclined to disagree on this
being grave. Imho.

$ perl -MNet::ARP -E 'say Net::ARP::arp_lookup("wlan0", "192.168.1.1")'
