IIANM I added the following to the perl script:

   'linksys-ver2'                => {
                                  'name' => 'Linksys FW version 2',
                                  'url'  => '/Status_Router.asp',
                                  'skip' => 'var wan_ip = ',
                                },

because the it was not correct in the original script and added the
following to the ddclient.conf file:

use=linksys-ver2,                fw=192.168.1.1:80              # via
Linksys's internet FW

all on one line so watch the line wrap. All this is of course for the
WRT54G router and may or may not work with other linksys routers.
