This is my first perl script and it's supposed to write all image tags/links to a logfile. The only thing that doesn't work is the log. First run works, the second run writes the correct info but does it twice and so on ... 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use IO::Handle;

# Prints URL: and uses the input as STDIN. 
print "URL: ";                  
INFO: while ($url = <STDIN>) {
print "\n";

open(TMP, "> source");                                
print TMP `lynx -source $url`;
print "\n";

print "Connecting to target.\n";

open(TEXT, "< source");                               
while (<TEXT>) {
        if ($_ =~ /^.* src=([^>]*)>.*$/ixg)    {
                $text = $text . $1 . "\n";
        }
}
TEXT->autoflush(1);
close TEXT;

print "Extracted image tags if any. \n";

$now = localtime;
$check = `date -I`;

open (LOG, ">> $check-spook.log");
print LOG "-------------------------\n", $url, $now, "\n--------------
+-----------\n";
print LOG $text . "\n";

print "Log has been written. \n";
print "Sleeping. \n";

unlink source;

sleep 30;

redo INFO;

}
