Perl Mechanize - how to add a certain variable to get a sorted output

Perlbeginner1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi dear perl-monks

again me- well
i have started another thread since i have issues with the ports. But that is another story:
first of all; i run linux opensuse 11.4 i try to run this little programme on a linux box.

#!/usr/bin/perl
    
    
    use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new();
    
    open(INPUT, "urls.txt") or die "Can't open file: $!";
    
    while (<INPUT>) {
      chomp;
      $mech->get($_);
      my $png = $mech->content_as_png();
    }
    close(INPUT);
    exit;

well i have a list of URLS: i have more than 1000 URLS - so it might be a problem if i get the results in a unsorted way.
i have a list of 1000 URLs, one on each line, saved in a file. then i want the script above to open the file, read a line, then retrieve the website! Well the URLS are stored something like this:


    Filename: urls.txt
    ------------------
    www.google.com
    www.cnn.com
    www.msnbc.com
    news.bbc.co.uk
    www.bing.com
    www.yahoo.com

question: how to write the script that the output of the thumbnail-images are stored with certain names - eg with the domain-names. How to do that!?

otherwise - the resuults would be a whole mess. I need to identify the thumbnails - related to the URLS. :Is this possible!?

love to hear from you

Have you looked at the "screenshot" example in WWW::Mechanize::Firefox::Examples? I'm pretty sure that you can extract the relevant code from there and use it in your program. This has nothing to do with WWW::Mechanize::Firefox by the way - your problem seems to be how to write image data to a file.	[reply]
