The 'D' in DHCP is for 'Dynamic'.

So let's go back to the OP's question: does anyone know a way to 
extract one's *current* dynamic IP address from OS X via Perl?

Pre- OS X, I found this once:

   IP Poster Script version 1.1
   --------------------------
   Since there is no Mac IP Poster application availible yet I decided
   to write a simple AppleScript that uses Fetch 3.0.3 and
   IP Moniter 1.1.1 to update a remote web page with your
   current IP address.

but I've never used it. IP Monitor is still around.

But I want it via Perl, direct from Net Info or some such...
