Did you say use Inline 'C'?
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Inline 'C';
get_mac('eth0');
__END__
__C__
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
void get_mac( char *iface )
{
int s;
struct ifreq buffer;
memset(&buffer, 0x00, sizeof(buffer));
s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
strcpy(buffer.ifr_name, iface);
ioctl(s, SIOCGIFHWADDR, &buffer);
close(s);
for( s = 0; s < 5; s++ )
printf("%.2X:", (unsigned char)buffer.ifr_hwaddr.sa_data[s]);
printf("%.2X\n", (unsigned char)buffer.ifr_hwaddr.sa_data[s]);
}
Easy to compile it into a command line C widget you call with backtics so you don't need Inline. Just drop the perl part, add int main(int argc,char *argv[]){get_mac(argv[1]);return 0;}, compile it and then call it from perl like $mac = `widget $iface`

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
