I've just recently taken up this project again, I dropped it back than and wrote the whole thing in sh. Now I'm adding network functionallity to it, so I must go back to perl. Here's how I got my list of interfaces/ip-addresses, as suggested previously, by using IO:Interface 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# Test script voor interface informatie
# by Djeezus 30/04/2004
# -------------------------------------
use IO::Interface;
use IO::Socket::INET ;

# must create socket first, bound to all interfaces
$sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto => 'udp');

# get list of active interfaces
@iflist = $sock->if_list;
print "List interfaces : @iflist\n";

# get list of active interfaces/addresses
 for $intf (@iflist) 
    {
    $addr = $sock->if_addr(${intf});
    # creating hash interface/address
        $addrlist{"$intf"} = "$addr";
}

# all active interface/ipaddress 
# using 'key' => 'value' from created hash
while (($key,$value) = each %addrlist ) {
  print "$key\t=>\t$value\n"
}
