Hi, I think that WWW::Mechanize will be perfect for you. It supports performing a sequence of page fetches including following links and submitting forms. Each fetched page is parsed and its links and forms are extracted.

This needs to work on a linux server. I will also require a skip list that will skip certain sites that I input into some kind of array. Can anybody give me some ideas to do the same.
