Getting your external ip with perl - bsdpunk - 10-21-2009
You can get your external ip with perl by running this script...however, you have to install the LWP::Simple first. If you are on mac or linux you can simply go to the command line and type:
sudo cpan
You may have to set up cpan, for the most part you use all defaults, and choose servers near you.
then run
install LWP::Simple
cpan may ask you some more questions, just agree.
Then you can run this:
PHP Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::Simple;
$whyip = qr/(Your IP address is \d+\.\d+\.\d+.\d+)/;
$content = get("http://whatismyipaddress.com");
if($content =~ $whyip){
print $&;
}
If you don't know your path to perl(#!/usr/bin/perl) then run it by typing
perl nameofscript.pl

Nice. I can use this for my bot
.But won't you need to backslash those dots and "d's"?
Edit: I've noticed this is not working, because of the useragent. It says: "it appears to be an automated script".

and if you find a better website to get your IP address from then you can change the url in there (obviously) lol. I've noticed a few of these IP getting perl codes interpretted by others. It seems to be a popular area in this perl forum.

Should you change the URI you would need to adjust the RegEx pattern to match. The pattern Bsdpunk created is specific to the site he has set by default.
