All of whom are routing to the LAN side address of your Router???

IP address that it is not itself NATing for you???? }

I would recommend that you go at this from the webPage side on your LAN.
Since that would probably be simpler and easier to develop and maintain.
since if they have exposed their API it's reasonably simple - if they
have not, it would be reasonably simple to play around that with your
browser in one place, and your perl code in another window....
