The best place for this kind of questions is Cool Uses for Perl, as Popcorn Dave already said. If you want an opinion on your code, you should also post the code. Anyway, I downloaded your script and tried it... really cool!
IMHO, it will be very hard to mantain your code: you reinvented every wheel!!! If you really need to ship a single file, why don't you try with App::Packer or PAR, and use all the tools already available from CPAN? I'm thinking about libwww-perl, especially HTTP::Daemon and LWP::Simple::mirror, HTML::Parser, HTML::Template and so on...
HTH, Valerio

Hi Valerio, thank you for taking the time to look at the code. I know I am doing a lot of stuff where I could plug in a CPAN module to make the code a lot simpler. My main concern there is that I want the script to only require standard perl modules so it is little fuss to set up. Is there any standard module you would recommend?

Well, I have been trying to get input on the code for a while now. I am not sure it it is sound enough to be put in the 'Cool Uses for Perl' section. I just want to get feedback, and/or some code tips.
A while back I posted this post, but there were no response. So, I thought I'd just ask some perl hackers to use it and tell me what they think.
Any advice on how I could get my scripts reviewed if this is the wrong approach?
