Subject: RE: getting the IP address of the local machine

If you want to keep your memory footprint down, I wrote a module called
Sys::Host which also does this (as well as allow you to grab the ip
addresses).  It's on the RAA.

I'm also hoping to add the ability to retrieve the virtual ip address (if
any).

Regards,

Dan
