Until your DHCP lease runs out and your IP address becomes
invalid (or worse, is handed out to another user), at which
point it becomes "foolish foolish".
A quick-and-dirty solution, compiled in Mail:
my $iface = 'en0'; # change to ppp0? if dialup?
my $ip = undef;
(`/sbin/ifconfig $iface` =~
/inet\s+(\d{1,3}(\.\d{1,3}){3})/) and ($ip = $1);
