I have a scenario where my perl program has to find the IP address

Well, a given machine could have several different IP addresses, so
you need to be a bit more specific than that.
There are both multi homed and single interface having mutiple IP addresses
problem.
You have to basically figure out which network you have to cater to if you are
a server. If you are a client (which is unlikely in this case), then I guess
there is not much of an issue
Anyway that said you can make do with the manual approach for most common
cases(the script i sent)
