Question

Is there a way where i can make my perl script prompt me to enter a range of ip addresses when i run my perl script at the terminal?

I have a perl script that scans ip addresses through nmap. I currently scan the ip addresses like so:

(nmap -v -r xx.xx.xxx.xxx -p 1-25);
(nmap -v -r xx.xx.xxx.xxx -p 1-25);

I would rather a command or function that where the terminal would prompt me to enter a range of ip address to scan, how can i do this

The following will print out Input: and wait for a user input line. Read here for more information on user input.

print "Input: ";
my $input = <STDIN>;
