Hi Dianne,
Generally, HTTP_REFERER is the page which got you to the current page (the
page that links to it). REMOTE_ADDR generally contains the IP. Try peeking at
that, or make a CGI with the following which will display your environment
variables for you:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print qq{$_ => $ENV{$_}<br>\n} for keys %ENV;
If you are still having problems, I suggest sending questions to the
beginners-cgi list, as that is the list for Perl/CGI type questions.
HTH & Cheers,
Kevin

I keep looking for the "Crash after viewing X pages" settings in Netscape, but
I just can't find it.
