Hi Gerald,
Thanks for replay.
I use squid as proxy server. I think the problem not in proxy.
When I print environment from a CGI script all seems be OK.
On server side I use apache with SSL and the "user" connect
to this site through squid proxy. And in this situation appears
the described problem. When the "user" connects without using squid proxy
everything is OK.
You should see the same Environement under Embperl as under CGI. If this is
not the case for whatever reason and you running under mod_perl you can you
the $req_rec -> headers_in method to get the information.

You also may set dbgHeadersIn and/or dbgEnv and take a look at the Embperl
logfile, if the x-forwarded-for header is really send by the proxy (squid,
of course should do so)

Gerald

P.S. Please answer also to the list, so other can participate

If you are using the Apache proxy, search the mod_perl mailing list
archive.
There is a module that does set the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
