        I faced this just a couple of days ago on a FreeBSD system for em0.
Here's what I did:

($in, $myip, $rest) = split / /,qx/ifconfig|grep 192.168/;
print "This IP is $myip\n";

        I used the FreeBSD "ifconfig" system call and parsed the output with
split. Whatever system you're on will probably have some other systemly way
to find this information.

Subject: finding out my IP address..

Hi,
   I'm trying to find my IP address from within Perl for eth0 and ppp0.
Currently I run a regex on the output of ifconfig to extract his data -
but, I'd like to do this from within Perl and it strikes me that this
should be possible.

HELP! ANYBODY!

Kev
