in thread Network interface discovery

Interesting.. CPAN fed me the 0.04 version.

Anyway, 0.05 is getting there, although the function only returns the network names, and Net::Pcap::lookupnet() returns the network, not the address.. e.g. for 127.0.0.1 it returns 127.0.0.0. So it's not quite what I needed, but thanks for the pointer. I'll keep digging..

    Ah, you're right. The version of findalldevs in libpcap actually returns the addresses of the interfaces, along with their names. Probably you could modify the Net::Pcap module to provide this information, or get at it using Inline::C.
