Being a system admin, I am trying to learn this language to see where I can use it.

Now, i thought lets try to find out the IP address of a computer using this script and try to change it later on. I was able to figure out the script to find the IP address.

Is there a way I can ping that IP and if packets received is more than or eq 1, I can increase the IP by 1, do the same process and once i get the correct IP , change it using a script ?? I am using the following code now ::-- 

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use Net::Netmask;

my $result = `ipconfig | find "IPv4 Address"`;
($result) = $result =~ m/(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+)/; 
print "OLD IP: $result\n";

[download]
and getting following expected result ::-- OLD IP: 10.0.0.11
