    http://strawberryperl.com/. (if you choose PHP or Phyton script, you need to install the corresponding application)

  • Click on the Actions tab and for Program/Script fill in “Perl” without the quote marks, for Arguments fill in the path of the Perl script. It should look similar to that (depends on where you saved it and what name you gave it) C:UsersYOUR_USERNAMEDesktopdynamicurl.pl
  • After it’s configured you can wait for it to execute or run it yourself by clicking on the Run button at the right sidebar.
  • The configuration is completed. you can check now, the IP has changed.
