If you are running this on a *NIX based platform, you should look into the IO::Interface module - This module gives you access to a wealth of information about network interface configurations. For example, from the documentation ...

use IO::Socket; use IO::Interface qw(:flags); my $s = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto => 'udp'); my @interfaces = $s->if_list; for my $f (@interfaces) { print "interface = $if\n"; my $flags = $s->if_flags($if); print "addr = ",$s->if_addr($if),"\n", "broadcast = ",$s->if_broadcast($if),"\n", "netmask = ",$s->if_netmask($if),"\n", "dstaddr = ",$s->if_dstaddr($if),"\n", "hwaddr = ",$s->if_hwaddr($if),"\n"; print "is running\n" if $flags & IFF_RUNNING; print "is broadcast\n" if $flags & IFF_BROADCAST; print "is p-to-p\n" if $flags & IFF_POINTOPOINT; print "is loopback\n" if $flags & IFF_LOOPBACK; print "is promiscuous\n" if $flags & IFF_PROMISC; print "is multicast\n" if $flags & IFF_MULTICAST; print "is notrailers\n" if $flags & IFF_NOTRAILERS; print "is noarp\n" if $flags & IFF_NOARP; }

If all that you are looking for is the MAC address of the interface card, then the $obj->if_hwaddr method is all you will need to worry about.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
