Perl & Get web content Perl-Function [Expert]
in [Perl]

From: Pseudonyme on 24 Mar 2010 06:10 Hi all ! I have some questions to you, experts, that relate to the PERL LANGUAGE 1. Is that possible to recognize the platform of a website ? From example : If I take this website : http://www.latimes.com How do I know if it is a PERL, a PHP or ASP ? Is there a trick ? 2. The Get-Web-Content PERL function. How to get the content using PERL script ? In PHP : it is like this : $homepage = file_get_contents(''http://andersen.times.com/adveruser/ adverpay.php?country=1270331545&time=1236928998'); echo $homepage; What about in PERL ? Thank you very much dear Madams and Sirs, for your answer. Norman Cougloff

Is that possible to recognize the platform of a website ? You can *sometimes* glean the OS or web server being used by examining the HTTP headers. my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new(); my $response = $agent->head( 'http://www.latimes.com' ); print $response->as_string(); > From example : If I take this website : http://www.latimes.com > How do I know if it is a PERL, a PHP or ASP ? > Is there a trick ? The programming language used is not a "platform". In fact, a website may be implemented using ALL of those languages. Why do you think that you need to know the "platform" of a website? > 2. The Get-Web-Content PERL function. > How to get the content using PERL script ? You should check the Perl FAQ before asking in the Perl newsgroup. perldoc -q HTML How do I fetch an HTML file? -- Tad McClellan email: perl -le "print scalar reverse qq/moc.liamg\100cm.j.dat/" The above message is a Usenet post. I don't recall having given anyone permission to use it on a Web site.

Oh, you didn't mean OS when you said platform. No, there isn't and there can't be because - the HyperTextTransferProtocol doesn't provide this information - the web server can map any URI into whatever the user has configured and can reply with whatever it feels appropriate to use - any web site can use none or any combination of those and other BTW: this question has nothing to do with Perl but is about how HTTP and web servers work. >2.

From: Pseudonyme on 24 Mar 2010 13:14 Thank you Madams and Sirs, get() from WWW::Mechanize. That one sounds a nice function. Cool ! I will search the options that relate to that function ? 1 - PHP versus PERL The Perl language seems more powerful than the PHP Language. What kind of music sounds to your ears about this sentence ? 2 - PHP into PERL ? An automatic tool to convert ? A translator like translating italian into english ... some tools work so well in that matter ! 3 - PERL is also a community like PHP ? perldoc -q and http://perldoc.perl.org/ MSFT offers for example a fantastic and exhaustive documentation for C+ + Development (MSDN). How is the documentation with Perl ? Again, the answers we have from you are very important, and thank you for that Norman Cougloff. How
