Just a tip, but when I do something like you are doing below, I use Apache
and write a simple cgi program to do this. Kind of like a "virtual daemon"
if you will.
without the security checks, my "daemon" may look like this:
use CGI;
my($q) = CGI->new();
> open(LOGFILE, ">/var/log/nukem.log");
> print LOGFILE "Got IP address of ", $q->param('ip'), "\n";
> close(LOGFILE);
Then in your client program, you can do something like:
use CGI qw(:standard);
use LWP::Simple;
my($ip) = '192.168.1.1';
my($content) = get( 'http://somehost/myIpLogger.cgi?ip=' . $ip )
print header();
if ( $content ) {
print("log request succeded: $content\n");
} else {
print("log request failed\n");
}
