deadlinkcheck - Dead Link Check (v0.4.0) Copyright (C) 1999 Martial MICHEL Dead Link Check (DLC) is a Perl script designed to find information on validity of HTTP references. The script may use/generate a cache file for avoiding redoing network requests if the user want to check added entries. The script works by reading entries from a file (or a list of links from the command line) and output results in file(s) (or STDOUT). DLC was created as an extension to Public Bookmark Generator (PBM), but can be used by itself. DLC uses Perl 5 and libwww-perl. a CPAN archive : ftp://www.perl.com/pub/perl/CPAN/modules/ For installation instructions, please see INSTALL. For use instructions, please refer to the manpages, perldoc, or launch the scripts without arguments.
