CGI/Perl and hidden IPs

[Da Byte]

Hi!
I want to retrieve an image from MY pc, without anybody being able to read my IP from the page's source or see it in the status bar.

My thought: retrieve the image via a Perl script.
How do I go about? "open(IMAGE, "address...")" or "grab(...)", "get(...)"?

Pls. help!
BTW. I only need the particular code to retrieve the image the way clicking a hyperlink would.


Thanks!!

You could obfusciate the URL, but it could be decoded easily. I don't think there's a way of doing what you want, anyone with knowledge of packet-sniffing or even netstat could see the connection between their computer and yours. You could possibly use some sort of a proxy, though.

I just need to simulate retrieving an image file from my PC via my static IP. Something like refreshing a webcam image.
And I thought that doing that by just calling a Perl script with the whole URL in it.
