Basically I have a local html file, called file1.html it has a series of links (with a particular domain name) in addition to the html code, I am trying to follow each of these links (based on the regular expression /on\.fe/) each of these links, in their content have a link to another page, (I would like to capture this particular page based on a regular expression /www\.arax/), and substitute for each link (with regular expression /on\.fe/)in file1.html with their corresponding link (with regular expression/www\.arax/) So far this is what I have come up with, and am a little stuck
#! perl\bin\perl use strict; use warnings; use WWW::Mechanize; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); open(FILE, "< file1.html") || print "Unable to open the file file1 \n" +; while (<FILE>) { if($_ =~ /on\.fe/) { my $url = $_; print $mech->uri."\n"; $mech->get($_); $mech->content(); if($mech->content()=~ /www\.arax/) { my $url2 = $mech->content() =~ /www\.arax/; print $mech->uri."\n"; s/$url/$url2/; print; } } } close(FILE);
