+# crawlink.pl
+#
+# This script crawls across all found links below the given "root" URL.
+# It reports all good and bad links to stdout. This code was based on the
+# checklink.pl script I wrote ages ago.
+#
+# Written to use 'curl' for URL checking.
+#
+# Author: Daniel Stenberg <daniel@haxx.se>
+# Version: 0.1 Dec 14, 2000
+#
+# HISTORY
+#
+# 0.1 - The given url works as the root. This script will only continue
+#       and check other URLs if the leftmost part of the new URL is identical
+#       to the root URL.
