    No, however it's hanging before the regex. In a truss you see the somesub() and then it sleeps. I'm just grasping at straws, but I feel that it's about the ARGV. The <> is getting mucked somehow.

        It returns an IP address in the form of 1.2.3.4. I cannot post my code on a public forum (sorry).
