I wrote a Perl module that can be used to block HTTP requests from open
proxies on the fly.

http://gunnar.cc/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/misc/HTTP/ProxyTest.pm?cvsroot=gunnar

The intended purpose is to prevent bogus form submissions. Looking at
the log of blocked requests so far, it seems to be very effective.

I would appreciate your comments on this approach to deal with abuse of
web forms.
