You can check the modules installed. Check the link

http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?PerlModulesINFO

or use this script on web page

1. #!/usr/bin/perl -w

use ExtUtils::Installed;
my $instmod = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
foreach my $module ($instmod->modules()) {
my $version = $instmod->version($module) || "Version Not Found";;
print "$module - $versionn";
}

Thanks for your replies, I'll give them a go over the weekend.
I also found a way of doing it in Javascript that I could quite easily
pass back via a hidden field in the form.

For the visitor IP:

$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}

If you need to have a listing of all environenet variable do the following:

foreach $key (sort keys %ENV)
{print "$key: $ENV{$key}n" ;}

Not sure about the syntax, I use a different, but must work.

Good luck
