Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello

is there a way that lets me find out the ips bound to the server

or I'll have to go through ifconfig & parse the output to get a list of ips ?

I'll need to get IPv4 addresses only.

    You could use Sys::HostIP:

    #!/usr/local/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Sys::HostIP;

my $ip_address   = Sys::HostIP->ip;
my $ip_addresses = Sys::HostIP->ips;
my $interfaces   = Sys::HostIP->interfaces;

print Dumper($ip_address, $ip_addresses, $interfaces, "\n");

      Thanks

      As I can see all it does is parsing the output of "ifconfig" as I had in mind.

      Seems to be no other solutions are available.
