Make a random IP address in Perl

This Perl script makes reasonably convincing random IPv4 internet addresses.

#!/home/ben/software/install/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
sub randomip
{
    my @digits;
    for (0..3) {
        push @digits, int (rand (255) + 1);
    }
    return join '.', @digits;
}
for (0..9) {
    print randomip (), "\n";
}

The output looks like this:

207.73.168.238
109.174.97.57
167.124.226.104
58.78.223.130
196.58.237.97
153.236.179.19
181.25.191.186
133.100.178.78
84.205.252.175
