Re: Salvation for Dial Up Users (with some awful Perl)

Very nice work. I was planning on making a Perl script to check when the connection is dropped and to reinitiate it as well as do some other things. I think you code will be of some help to me.
BTW
Isn't there a better way to get your IP info such a route. I guess it doesn't make much difference just seems a bit easier to me.
Good Luck

Looking over my code, I think I could probably cut it down a lot, maybe break the connection/file checking into a sub to minimize overhead, etc.. The version I posted was also designed to email a standup account my dynamic IP address - I also have a version that is really paired down, just checking to see if you are online or not (incorporated into a small shell script, it creates the ONLINE file, the shell script just checks for that file before running your tasks). If you want to save time on cutting it up, I can send that along as well.
