NAME

checkURL.pl - Check that all the URLs in the Perl source are valid

DESCRIPTION

This program checks that all the URLs in the Perl source are valid. It checks HTTP and FTP links in parallel and contains a list of known bad example links in its source. It takes 4 minutes to run on my machine. The results are written to 'uris.txt' and list the filename, the URL and the error:

  * ext/Locale-Maketext/lib/Locale/Maketext.pod
    http://sunsite.dk/RFC/rfc/rfc2277.html
      404 Not Found
  ...

It should be run every so often and links fixed and upstream authors notified.

Note that the web is unstable and some websites are temporarily down.

To install utf8, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.

cpanm

CPAN shell
