Big subject.  Depending on your point of view, using cgi, ssi and 
passing variables can be harder than doing a tax return  ;P  or 
more fun than doing a NYTimes crossword puzzle.

If you want simple, all-purpose perl scripts to plug in, searches 
using keywords "redirect ip cgi" came up with a few.  Some scripts 
are free.

I found the Xitami local help and online documentation do an 
excellent job ~ but assumes you understand the basics of cgi.  All 
the standard variables are explained.
