I have a script, which grabs a webpage, parses it and changes a few urls, then displays the result to the browser, all of it works, except one part of the parsing: 
        $text =~ s#src=\"(.*?)\"#src=\"$url$1\"#sig;

[download]
$url contains the orginal URL which was grabbed. Here-in lies the problem:
Assume $url is http://www.slashdot.org. If the URL in the src tag was: 
http://www.slashdot.org/image.gif
it get's changed into: 
http://www.slashdot.orghttp://www.slashdot.org/image.gif
but if the url was a relative url: 
image.gif
becomes: 
http://www.slashdot.org/image.gif
which works. So my question/problem, is there any way to get the regex to ignore absolute urls?
