Hello everybody on the lists.

I've a smaller problem using mod_perl / apache2.

I've usually some CGI files, implementing perl Modules (.pm).

In one perl module, i use SSL, as you might already expect, it's a
login popup. Now i somehow struggle in the problem that the
remote_addr is "::1" instead of "127.0.0.1" in my case.

So, in the main page (menu) there is not even any problem with the
$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}. It displays 127.0.0.1.
If i load the popup module in an own window using SSL, i get this
strange ::1 address.

I use this to save IP Addresses to my session users, but to verify an
ip 127.0.0.1 against ::1 of course is an error.

Does anyone know where this ::1 comes from?

Thank you,
Georg
