Re^3: send message to IM from perl

    With requests about identifying IP address of a router and trying to use IM, you probably know that Iam trying to get somewhere.

    Just wanted to update monks that with your help, I completed my work.

    My problem: I need to know the dynamic IP address at my home router assigned by ISP.

    Solution: I don't have a webserver to log the IP address. I want to have it just when I want it. I finally have a working perl script which runs like a daemon on my home machine. It connects to AOL as user A and waits. When I login to AIM as user B from whereever Iam working/travelling and send IM to user A, I will receive my IP address as IM sent by user A
    Thanks again to all the monks.
