I have a PERL script where I'd like to get the visitor's IP address. How do I do that in PERL?<br /><br />I realize that proxies mean that I might not be getting their <b>true</b> IP address, but I don't much care about that. If you can get both the external and true IP addresses, that would be best, but not required.<br /><br />Thanks for any ideas,<br />Steve<!--content-->
Try $ENV{REMOTE_HOST} or $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}<!--content-->
