If IP changes are rare for you and just want to update your IP manually now and then, using the web interface most providers offer is probably sufficient, and you don't even need your own script. If you want to run the client as a daemon, i'd advise against rolling your own. Most providers block accounts that update too frequently, and getting the logic right to prevent excessive updates is tricky. My experience is mostly with ddclient; i have contributed a few patches that were accepted upstream. The maintainer is a nice guy, not very actively supporting ddclient, but not letting it rot completely either. For home use, it is clearly good enough. For enterprise use, it is usable (if you are willing to help and fix the occasional bug), but certainly not great. However, the code quality is positively revolting. I have rarely seen Perl code looking that ugly. Still, as it is a small code base, you can find your way around it. But hacking into it is not fun, and if you value reliability a lot, you should probably look into other options, too, and compare.
