in thread questions concerning using perl to monitor webpages

This is great in principle for truly static pages, but for CGI output the "If-modified-since" is, like, now. So it depends on what kind of pages you're going to fetch if this particular trick will work.

It's dead easy to use, though, when it works. :-)
