I am a Perl newbie and I am trying to scrape the archive with all of the inland articles. Some articles are downloaded, but the files are empty.

The error message in the terminal is: "Fetching https://deutsch.rt.com//inland/50091-bundesregierung-giftgasvorwurfe-assad-saudi-arabien/" class="cover__link link "> sh: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string"

So my script starts downloading the articles, but then something happens.. Can you please help me to write a functional script?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
