You basically want to use your Tor as a client too. So, use it just like if you had a Tor client running locally -- you do. Open your socksport in your torrc file (it might be open already), install an http proxy (either privoxy or polipo) and configure it to point to Tor, and then make your requests via http to the http proxy. I suspect the various perl libraries can handle using http proxies just fine. See e.g. https://torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix for more details. --Roger *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
