Thanks for response. Looking at some other options as well. Can we change outbound network interface dynamically for specific process ? looked at use IO::Interface qw(:flags);getIng permission denied when trying to change. Is this require root permission. can we do without root, want to implement in user space.
my $s = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto => 'udp'); my @interfaces = $s->if_list; for my $if (@interfaces) { print "interface = $if\n"; my $flags = $s->if_flags($if); print "addr = ",$s->if_addr($if),"\n", "broadcast = ",$s->if_broadcast($if),"\n", "netmask = ",$s->if_netmask($if),"\n", "dstaddr = ",$s->if_dstaddr($if),"\n", print "is running\n" if $flags & IFF_RUNNING; print "is broadcast\n" if $flags & IFF_BROADCAST; print "is loopback\n" if $flags & IFF_LOOPBACK; print "is promiscuous\n" if $flags & IFF_PROMISC; print "is multicast\n" if $flags & IFF_MULTICAST; print "is notrailers\n" if $flags & IFF_NOTRAILERS; print "is noarp\n" if $flags & IFF_NOARP; } my $interface = $s->addr_to_interface('127.0.0.1'); # my $oldaddr = $s->if_addr('eth0'); $s->if_addr('lo','X.X.X.X') || die "couldn't set address: $!";
