Hello Perl Monks. I am fairly new to programming in Perl and I have a relatively easy problem that I am not sure how to start solving. Basically, what I need to do is write a Perl script that will recursively go down through an entire web directory and check all of the links to make sure they are relative. It has to look in every folder and has to make sure that all the links begin with www.blah.blah.com If the links are not relative and point elsewhere, I need the code to print those for me and where they are located. Suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,
Pilot

update (broquaint): title change (was Recursive)
