Perl Scripts

  • cgi-proxy.pl is a CGI ‘proxy’ program. You can point it at another cgi program (say, one on a machine behind your firewall), and it will pass input and output back and forward. Requires Perl 5.001 and the LWP module.
  • qnd-link-checker.pl is a quick-and-dirty link checker. Runs from the unix command line and requires Perl 5.003 or later. Output is formatted for a 132-column window. Freeware.
  • my-net-minder.pl is similar to the Netmind URL-Minder service (now called Mind-it), but lets you take parts of the page out with a regexp so lame things like SSI counters don’t cause you to get notifications every time the counter ticks over. It uses a MD5 checksum of the cut-down page as a basis for comparison. Freeware.
