Our corporate intranet boys at my client site have been busy making over the intranet site, and relaunched it on Wednesday. They also announced a competition with 5 star images at the top of certain pages. They offered a prize for a randomly chosen correct entry.

Of course, the temptation was too much for me to resist :). I learned all about how to do authentication with NTLM from LWP::UserAgent in the process. Here goes:(password suppressed to protect the innocent)

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTML::TokeParser;

my @todo = 'http://intranet';
my %seen = (@todo, 1);
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( keep_alive => 1 );
$mech->credentials('intranet:80','','CORP\\williami','censored');

while (my $url = shift @todo) {
    print "Visiting: $url\n";

    $mech->get( $url);

    for ($mech->links) {
        my $link = $_->url_abs;
        push @todo, $link unless exists $seen{$link};
         $seen{$link}++;
    }

    my $text = $mech->content;

    my $tp = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$text);

    while (my $tag = $tp->get_tag('img')) {
        print "Found image: ", $tag->[1]{src}, "\n";
    }
}

I came back from lunch to find that I had won. I'm curious about how many other correct entries there were though.
