If you have the IP and the netmask for each interface, then getting the broadcast address for each is trivial. Use the addrandmask2cidr and cidr2range functions in Net::CIDR. The broadcast address is always the one right at the top of the range. -- David Cantrell | http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david Do not be afraid of cooking, as your ingredients will know and misbehave -- Fergus Henderson _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
