I keep feeling I should learn more before I post here (lest I look like a lazy idiot who can't RTFM), but I'm getting too old to wait! Anyway, first post: Surely there's a module (or many) with a method to parse URL's down to TLD. I just can't find nice lists of them. I need to see if some files came from the same host. Here's what I'm doing now (just to show I'm writing _some_ code):
my $link = $result->{URL}; my $slink = substr($link, 10, 7); if($slink eq $temp){ ...do stuff... $temp=$slink } No. Look away. It's hideous. (But it usually works). OK, obviously I haven't gotten regexes down (or gotten to their chapter at all). My question is: how can I find (not just this but any) methods available on cpan? Must I muck through google every time I want to "q=learn+some+new+damn+perl&btnG=Google+Search"? It's such a wasteland of usenet postings from 1995! ...or maybe I can just start bugging you folks..... Oh I have such a list of questions....... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
