Parsing the ARP table for MAC addresses will of course only get you only
that of the machines which are on the same subnet as your own.
For those beyond that, you really have to query the machine itself for its
own MAC address.

Subject: RE: Getting computernames and mac addresses
heh... one way that you can do this. though certainly not the most
elegant solution.
You should be able to use a combination of nslookup, ping, and arp
to get your answers;
this assumes an NT workstation.
you can use nslookup to get the ip address of the host. Then you can
ping the host
putting an entry in the arp table of IP to MACAddress. After that
you parse the output of
arp -a to get the MACAddress. oh what the heck...
----
#it works on my machine! :)
chomp(my $host = shift);
chomp($ip = (grep{s/.*\[([\d\.]+)\].*/$1/} `ping $host`)[0]);
$mac = (grep{s/.+$ip\s+([\d\w-]+)\s.*/$1/}`arp -a`)[0];
print $mac . "\n";

If it's worth doing, it's worth hiring someone who know how to do
it.
