My apologies if this question reeks of ignorance (I have
intermediate Perl experience, zero web-application
experience, but a great deal of experience with ignorance),
but here is my task: from server-A, test the availability
of a given web application on server-B. The URL that
would be entered by the browser is as follows:
"https://bogus.domain.com/rwi.do". All I need do at
this point is ensure we receive a 200 status. We have some
completely undocumented legacy Perl code that performs a
login- or lookup-test via, LWP::UserAgent, HTTP::Status,
HTTP::Request, and HTTP::Response, however, reverse
engineering this has not been easy and my thought is,
there's got'a be a better way. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
