Thanks. Again, no offense taken.

My thanks for this. It would have taken me ages to write that. I think I need
to get the PERL book.
I've tried to implement this code on my box. This process is complicated by
my use of webmail at the moment (I'm not at home) and the associated tricks
the copy/paste is doing.
I'm getting errors which make no sense to me:
# perl get_ip.sh
Not enough arguments for send at get_ip.sh line 54, near "$httpRequest )"
syntax error at get_ip.sh line 119, near ".ne"
syntax error at get_ip.sh line 126, near "}"
Execution of get_ip.sh aborted due to compilation errors.
The lines in question are:
54 send( SH, $httpRequest );
119 if ($currentIP .ne. $lastIP)
{
print "change detected\n";
writeIP( $currentIP );
system "home/dan/dns_update.sh";
syslog( "The IP Address has changed to $currentIP" );
126 }
I'll be sure to post a working copy of the script once I have it running. I
can imagine it would be useful to anyone using the Nokia M10.
