NAME

Net::Hacky::Detect::IP - Hackily try different methods of attaining local system IPs

WARNING

This module currently only supports ipv4 and linux, BSD and MAC. Windows support is partially built in, and will be added shortly, unfortunatly I lack a machine to develop it on at present. This module will also eventually check and return valid IPv6 addresses.

README

I am working on a lot cleaner version of this module, that uses the detected OS and acts from there, however I do not havea access to a vast amount of machines, if you would like to help me, please read 'Bugs' and use the corrosponding tracker, to submit: Your OS, What binaries are on the system for showing ip information, the output of the command, the output of 'uname -a' and any other relevant data.

VERSION

Version 0.012

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Hacky::Detect::IP;

my @ips = Net::Hacky::Detect::IP->scan();

DESCRIPTION

Hackily concatenate output from multiple system commands then attempt to find valid ips from it, once found they are tested for connectability then returned. This is not pretty nor very clever but extracting system ips is a nightmare however you go about it and this method appears to be the more reliable.

METHODS

scan

Attempt to find local system ips, returns a list of [] if nothing found.

INTERNAL METHODFS

_checkIPv4

Check an IPv4 is valid and usable, takes 2 mandatory arguments;

a '4' or '6' to designate an IPv4 or IPv6 address and the host its self as an ip not hostname.
