Getting A Visitor's Ip Address Using Perl

[Pony99CA]

I have a PERL script where I'd like to get the visitor's IP address. How do I do that in PERL?

 

I realize that proxies mean that I might not be getting their true 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.

 

Thanks for any ideas,

Steve

Try $ENV{REMOTE_HOST} or $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}

Try $ENV{REMOTE_HOST} or $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR}

REMOTE_ADDR worked and showed my IP address, but REMOTE_HOST didn't show my host name. IP Chicken does show my host name. It's not a big deal, though.

 

Thanks for the information,

Steve
