Basically I use the wget utility which you can build from /usr/ports/ftp/wget or there's a package file on the FreeBSD CD-ROM too. This is the wget command I use ... /usr/local/bin/wget --http-user=USERNAME --http- passwd=PASSWORD 'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html? host=HOST.DOMAIN.COM' .... obviously you need to change the uppercase part of that command to suit your account and domain setup. Be careful of the wget example on the ZoneEdit site - it doesn't work. I use PPPoE so I've got the command in a shell script that is called from /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup. Good luck with Perl.
