ChrisJ-UK has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi, I am still building my little crawler. At the moment I retrieve each page using the Lynx browser:
I am aware of the LWP module being able to fetch web pages. Is there any actual advantage to be had from using LWP rather than Lynx? If I shifted the script from the current Unix server to Windows then I would have to include LWP but I don't forsee that ever happening. Thanks.
