imranakbar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi,
I'm fairly new to perl, but I already find its power incredible. I'm looking to use Link::Extor to extract the links from a webpage, and then return the first one that matches a certain pattern (the most recent article), and then fetch it and save it to disk. The examples I've found so far are hard to change, so I was wondering if someone could help me out. Also, I want to be able to say, go through a list of pages and see which ones have changed. Is there any module that can do this?
Thanks!
You really need to provide a bit more information.
1) what code are you using?
2) what exactly is it about the examples you've found that are hard to change?
3) how is the pattern you are trying to match specified?
Answer these and I have no doubt that help will come your way with a quickness.
