I don't know much about Perl yet. I copied a website counter script off

-Michael Sullivan-
assuming that your server does the right thing, and assuming that the browser does the polite thing, then the variable you are looking for that will be passed to your cgi code is the
REMOTE_ADDR
the REMOTE_HOST is less likely to be set. So you could start with
my $rem_addr = $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR};
now you have a dot_quad - say "199.108.16.11" now all you have to do is deal with the DNS look up problem that IP and resolve IF it is inside of your 'domain'.
The general recommendation then is Net::DNS <http://search.cpan.org/~crein/Net-DNS-0.43/lib/Net/DNS.pm>
