I need to know how to set my own remote_addr when requesting pages from the web.
I seem to be out of answers on how to do this.
When the page I request sends out its $ENV_ variables :"SO I MAY CHECK IT OUT" it says the "REMOTE_ADDR" is one of my WEB SERVER IP'S, not me or what I set. I don't want this I want it to either be mine or set my own preferably.
Ohh, and when I set my own it adds a "environment var" called HTTP_REMOTE_ADDR. "still not what i want."
Sample:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Headers;


my $theurl = "http://www.foo.com";

$h = new HTTP::Headers(
Content_Type=>'text/html, text/plain, image/*',
Accept=>'image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, applicat
+ion/vnd.hp-hpf, */*',
Accept_encoding=>"gzip, deflate",
Accept_language=>"en-us",
Connection=>"Keep-Alive",
remote_addr=>'123.456',
);
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $theurl, $h);

$ua->agent("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90
+)");

$response = $ua->request($request);

if ($response->is_success) {

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

print $response->content;
  } else {
     print "Error: " . $response->status_line . "\n";
  }
);

I've tried adding/deleting some of the following:

$request->header('Accept'=> 'text/html','Type' => 'text/html','remote_
+addr'=>'123.456');

print $q->header(-Type=>'text/html',-Accept=>'text/html',-remote_addr=
+>'123.456.789');#under $q use CGI of course

tried remote_addr, Addr, and REMOTE_ADDR on above

Does anyone have a way a accomplishing this?

Thanks,
