Perl can do what you want! Just write the code
I am writing a program for automated link management.
It gives the visitor the posibility to add links, new links are checked if
they are ok. Thankyou or sorry page is displayed for the visitor after
checking the link.
Can be run from command line with -check parameter to check all links and
mark the bad or invalid ones. (I put a line in crontab for this to run every
night)
I am now including timing so the visitor knows if it is a slow server.
Everything is contained in 1 program that generates diferent html pages
depending on POST or GET data. Calling it without any generates the link
page.
And this is only a little program. I just learned perl 4 weeks ago, so I
gues there must be people out there with a lot more stuff for the web.
