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:

241.115.90.95
242.206.146.220
85.126.231.163
108.156.77.23
1.75.209.55
22.112.236.194
109.243.52.8
252.238.49.135
210.25.179.196
246.252.2.113
