What is setMyip?

setMyip is a perl client for the 'myip.org' service. If you would like more information about this service, please go to http://www.myip.org It implements it's own socket code, and does not require any additional utilities or programs, such as wget, http, or lynx. setMyip is released under the GNU public license.

 

What features does setMyip have?

setMyip now handles account creation. Setup is a snap, upon running it the first time, it will ask you if your have an account, create one if necessary, and prompt you for all the information you will need. It does NOT require you to edit the script at all (unless you need to specify the path to your perl executable).

 
setMyip parses the server's output for status codes inside html comments. I asked the maintainers of myip.org to include this into their system to allow client developers (like myself) to reliably detect the status of their request. This is fully implement in setMyip 0.1.2

 

What does setMyip require?

Perl 5.004 or later. A unix like operating system would be helpful, too. setMyip is developed under Linux, and should work equally well on any unix oriented operating systems.

 

What made you make this utility?

Simple, I would like to support not only the open source community, but also groups that support free services, such as myip.org. I don't personally require the service, but when I did, I knew how valuable it was. This is my way of support some of my intrests.

 

Enough of this, gimmie the goods.

You can download setMyip 0.1.2 from here or from the clients page over at myip.org.
Be sure to read the README included, for instructions on setting it all up.
