Gregory,
Here is some code I use to check file dates of URL's. If the MasterDate is
set then the url exists otherwise it does not.......
#get the last modified date of the document on the master server
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$request = HTTP::Request->new(HEAD => $MasterFile);
$response = $ua->request($request);
$MasterDate = ($response->is_success ? $response->last_modified :
0);
