HTML::LinkExtor does a good amount of the work you want, indeed. To fetch pages you should use LWP::RobotUA. Checking URLs should be easy using URI. For the title and meta tags, HTML::HeadParser is the tool of choice. Finally, your loop will end up looking more like this:
while @url { $page = get ( $url = shift @url ) if(not defined $page) { push @error, $url next } push @url, match_base_url ( extract_links ( $page ) ) push @info, [ extract_header_tags $page ] } print_information for @info print_error_url for @error
Update: LWP::Simple

Makeshifts last the longest.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
