Well, I'm not sure exactly what you want, but I made a script that gives
you ALL CGI envvars here:

        http://www.petersons.com/cgi-bin/env2.pl

All the $ENV hash keys and values are there.  Your mileage may vary,
depending on your browser software.

What I think you want, though, is $ENV{'REMOTE_HOST'} or $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}.

One more thing: this is a CGI question, not a MacPerl question, or even a
Perl question.  Please use the appropriate forum for such questions.  I
suggest the comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi newsgroup.
