[wplug] web programming

[John Harrold]

Sometime in October Joe assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Yeah, you can do php command line now. The only time I've used it was 
| when I needed to grep some webpage for something and print it out 
| stdout. It was a lot easier to do in php since you can open a webpage 
| like a file. AFAIK open() doesnt do that in perl. I'll be damned if it 
| does though...


something like:

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

MAIN:
{
    open my $fh => 'GET http://www.perl.com |' or die "could not open url";


    while(<$fh>){
    
        print $_;
    
    }
    

    exit 0;
}

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
