What would be a good way to make a script run every time my computer connects to the network in Ubuntu? Would I somehow use dbus to do this?

Background: when I'm on the train I run a short Perl script to click a button on the splash page. That way I can immediately use the internet without having to manually visit a pointless website. My script is a near-perfect solution, but it would be perfect if it could run automatically any time I connect to the network.
