Hi again,

have a new script her, I want to create a code that will read a data
file of the following format

<number of times> <sleep time>

The first column describes how many times the script should download a
URL, and the second column describes how many seconds the tool should
sleep before going on...

This is what i got this far, (I prefer to use the unix, wget command
to do this operation if posible)

#! /usr/bin/perl


$data = "file";
$URL = "www.cnn.com";
$c = 1;


open (FILE, $data) or die "Error: $!";


while ($line = <FILE>){
    my @array = split /\s+/,$line;
    my $exe = $array[0];

    my $sleep = $array[1];

    if ($c >= $exe) {

        system('wget "$URL"');
        $c++;
    }

    sleep $sleep;
}

This is clearly wrong, but could anyone please tell meg how to get this scipt
