Submitted URL turned into source code sent to CGI?

[mpalmer12345]

I want to write an HTML program that accepts user input via a form submission in the form of a website URL link (such as

http://www.etc.com),

then sends the HTML source code of the inputted URL to a CGI file for processing. How would I do this? Any tips or hints would be much appreciated, as I am nearly a beginner at this.

You can accomplish this using LWP::Simple and the CGI.pm

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use LWP::Simple;

use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;

my $url = $q->param('url');
my $content = get($url);               

# Do something with $content
print $content;
