mkirank has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi , a friend of mine has signed up for webcast (streamguys.com signed up for realcast)... those people have given him a url that he has to embed in his html page , but when he is not doing a webcast and someone access the page they get an error from real player as file not found ...the url to embed ends with a .rm , i viewed it in notepad and it has the following
..
rtsp://64.202.98.34:554/live/robindean.rm?cloakport=8080,554,7070 --stop-- pnm://64.202.98.34:7070/live/robindean.rm?cloakport=8080,554,7070

If it is a HTML page then we use LWP to get that page and parse that page to find out if it is a 404 Page not found (unless they have set error pages as something else in server configuration files), is it possible to do it for the abouve mentioned files through a perl script ?
Thanks for looking at this :-)
