Generate a thumbnail for a given linkby Matthew.S (Initiate) |

Matthew.S has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello Perl Monks.
I'm looking to write a Perl utility that will accept a link to some web page/resource and will generate a thumbnail for that web page (assuming that the given web page/resource supports it).
When saying "thumbnail" I expect to generate something like say WhatsApp generates when You paste a link into it (a picture with some short text title and a link).
The desired output from the utility could be an image file and a textual title in a text file that I can later use to my needs.
What general approach would You suggest for me to take?
Thank You for Your wisdom.
