or a better one for the FAQ, which lives in a different place.
problems with the perlfaq:
for some reasons the repository with which i and others work
is not in the standard distribution repository, so when i
check out the perlfaq module, i don't get any tools with it.
problems with checkURL.pl
+ it's not in 5.6.1, so i didn't know about it (but now i do :)
+ it hard codes the files to check, and checks all of them
+ downloads each resource every time (bad for slow connections
i get in hotels)
+ only checks the root path for a domain, not the URL path.
i think someone need to fix the regex, or explain why it is
the way that it is.
what i want to do:
+ check only the files i specify
+ check the full URL
+ run without output in some cases (like in make, where i want it
to just fail if i do something like `make checkurlquiet`)
