That's a good idea too. So in your form you would set form action to:
something.cfm and then in something.cfm you would have:
<CFSET client.localip = cgi.remote_addr >
<cfhttp url="whatever.pl" method="post">
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name"fieldname" value="form.fieldname" />
....
</cfhttp>
<cfoutput>#cfhttp.filecontent#</cfoutput>
You could try this. I didn't test my code above for typos. :)

ugh, setting anything using CF occurs server side.
now, why must you post form the client to the perl script? How about
posting to a CF page, set the variable you want, then use CFHTTP to
post to the perl script.
