What is a Perl DDNS?

Perl client for updating a dynamic DNS IP information at supported providers (e.g. www.dyndns.org, www.no-ip.com). The dynamic DNS service allows mapping a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This way the computer can be referred by name instead of ever changing IP address from ISP's pool.

In short, call the program at regular intervals (say every 6 hours):

  dyndns.pl --Provider dyndns --login LOGIN --pass PASSWORD --Host yourhost.dyndns.org

Platform Support

Supported OS platforms: Win32 native (Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/*), Win32 Cygwin (Unix like), Linux (Redhat, Debian). Other distributions not tested. Should work with any FHS compliant Linux distributions as well as BSD provided that command ifconfig(1) is available.
