Straight to the point. Here's my code... 

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "cookies.dat");
$ua->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);
$header = new HTTP::Headers (Accept => 'text/html');
$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET, $page, $header);
$response = $ua->request($request);

This code works fine, but the problem is that my application is hosted on my server for use by my clients and the REMOTE_ADDR environment variable which is passed by the ua is *my* machine but it needs to be my *clients'* REMOTE_ADDR as they are the one that really needs to be identified as making the request.

Two questions here...

1) How can I get the ua to pass my client's REMOTE_ADDR?

2) Are there any alternate approaches to this problem?

TIA for any wisdom :-)
