>Why not just use an external proxy server?

Hmm. Well, though your suggestion, as well as SysApe9000's suggestion, is excellent and much more robust, my problem is that outside of my home LAN, the only server presence, the only control I have is my paid-for webhost which, sadly, does not allow SSH logins and, since I am on a shared server, does not allow me to set up and configure a proxy.

Sad, really.

Thank you folks for your input and feedback. This script has helped me much; I'm already getting fun ideas for network programming in Perl. I look forward to playing with your suggestions sometime in my future, just not right now. ::sighs::

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
