Re: Answer: How do I get the local internet IP address?

Net::Address::IP::Local is easier to use, more reliable, and cross-platform...

use Net::Address::IP::Local;
my $address = Net::Address::IP::Local->public;

The OP code did work for me though on a closed box and Net::Address::IP::Local only seems to work if there is, as the method name suggests, a public address open otherwise it's `Unable to create UDP socket: No route to host...`. The OP code found the right address on both my running OS X boxes, one closed, one open.	[reply] [d/l]
