I need help writing a script that will display a web client's ip
address on my web page.

It doesn't even have to be a Perl script, if you have your HTML pages
set up as server parsed (for server side includes). Just include this
code:



See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ssi.html for more info.

(Sorry for the off-topic answer, but in this case it's justified, IMHO,
since the easiest answer is not to use Perl.)

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain","\n\n";

$remote_host = $ENV{'REMOTE_HOST'};
print "You are visiting from ", $remote_host, ". ";

I just copied and pasted the above from here:

you can add any tags, like this:

print "<html><body>Hi there</body></html>";

It isn't possible to determine the IP address the users to your website.
The best you can do is determine the address of where the request has come
from (or at least, claims to have come from).
