How do I write a Perl script to use curl to process a URL?

问题

I have a very simple task. I have a crontab that will run a script every hour. The script is meant to simply process a URL.

This is what I have. It doesn't work. I get a syntax error.

#!/usr/bin/perl
curl http://domain.com/page.html;

I haven't worked in Perl in years and wasn't very adept when I did.

SOLUTION

Thanks, Alex for pointing me to the correct path!

crontab

*/30 * * * * curl http://domain.com/path.html

回答1:

You can either use curl via backticks

my $curl=`curl http://whatever`

or you can use WWW::Curl.

回答2:

To call any shell command from Perl, you can use system:

system "curl http://domain.com/page.html";

Just enclose the shell command in quotes.
