Re: LWP::Simple to judge the url

See the ->head method of LWP::UserAgent. The Content-Type header of the response should tell you what content the page sends back.

LWP::Simple does `head` just as well. And it might be simpler to use. head($url) Get document headers. Returns the following 5 values if successful: ($content_type, $document_length, $modified_time, $expires, $server) Returns an empty list if it fails. In scalar context returns TRUE if successful.
