sure, This written at the top of the script.. sorry, should have been more precise...
use LWP::UserAgent; use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET); use MIME::Lite; so just go to seach.cpan.org and use the search facility to find: LWP::UserAgent MIME::Lite HTTP::Request the download links will be on the search results.. Though there are probably mandrake RPM's for this on the disks or contribs... MIME::Lite is for sending the email and LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Request are for getting the google/yahoo request... Thats all you need.. I use variations of this script for monitoring our work servers and telling me when they are down as well. very handy.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of FemmeFatale Sent: Sunday, 15 December 2002 5:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] Linux installation & Router Advice (a freebie script I wrote for connection monitoring.)
