Folks,
Thanks to a suggestion from Bill Lavender I have found exactly the tool to do
what I wanted, i.e. checking all links in an HTML document.
The program is called "momspider" and is available at
http://www.ics.uci.edu/WebSoft/MOMspider/
To quote from that document:
"MOMspider is a web-roaming robot that specializes in the maintenance of
distributed hypertext infostructures (i.e. wide-area webs). The program is
written in Perl and, once customized for your site, should work on any
UNIX-based system with Perl 4.036."
It is a very nice program. It can test about 1000 links/minute. By default
for local URL's it will follow links to any depth, for remote URL's it just
verifies that the link exists (to minimize loading the network and remote Web
servers). It produces a nice HTML document which lists all broken links,
recently modified links, etc.
