Http interaction

[Paradox321]

Hey, I'm fairly new to perl and i'm trying to make a program that checks if an url (for example)

http://www.test.com/test.php

exists. and if so, saves to a text file. So far it's gone pretty badly. So i'm just asking, how would some of you go about this? What functions should i be using etc.

Thankyou.

I would use LWP.

Probably can use LWP::Simple but LWP will work if not.

You could WWW::Mechanize for this as well. Have it get the stauts and save it is it returns the 201 status code.
