PERL Coding - Page Rank Checker

I'm a PERL script coder, and I always feel left out, so I'm just going to start going wild and bring PERL code to the forefront... at least for me... and start releasing code to those that want it.


Couple things I've whipped up:

Page Rank Checker:

There's even a way to put the image onto your webpage, etc.

Next... Deleted domains updater, pr check, and sort....

http://www.seomonks.com/pagerank/index.html


It's updated every day with a new list, sorts them, and checks their page rank.

I'm going to clean up the code and release it so someone can put it on their webpage or whatever. Just trying to share.

I'll put a new thing up here every week with regards to PERL coding, programs, etc.


Maybe someone here will at least enjoy it.

 

I'm looking forward to the release of the code for the "Deleted domains updater, pr check, and sort". This is a great tool that is very useful to me. Great work!

 

very nice scripts
one thing though, ou have to be careful, as some of those have fake pr

 

Gatorade... I PM'ed you the zip file. Enjoy.

 

your work is awesome BTW, perl just doesn't get enough love these days

 

Yeah, it is sort of sad. I'm going to be releasing free perl code that should be relevant to the folks around here, to make get some love back into it... Doubt it, but worth a try right?

Next will be a vbulletin / perl custom module I wrote to bridge the two programming languages so my perl code can interact with the vb database, etc.

 

Hi painthappy - you may be able to help (I hope!). I posted a question on another thread:

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=337510

I've been told I may be able to do this with perl? Basically I need to do a 301 redirect from one .htm page to another .htmpage ie

301 redirect from oldpage.htmto newpage.htm

Is this possible with perl? If so how do I call the perl script from old.htm and whats the correct script to use?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

 

this SHOULD do you, but not really sure

$q = new CGI;
print $q->redirect("http://www.new-url.com/");

 

Thanks Carolynheath - ok, confession time (though it should be no surprise from my question) - if I understand perl correctly its a script that sits in the cgi directory that gets called from a normal web page? How do I call the script from say oldpage.htm?

 

To call from an html page you need to use SSI or Server Side Include.

But honestly.. just use .htaccess files for it, very simple that way. No coding or whatever involved.

create a file called htaccess

.htaccess

and put in that file:

Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html

 

in the other thread, he/she said they coulnd't use .htacess

 

Great tools, good to see more perl users here on DP, any change of getting those files zip'd as well

 

Thanks for the reply painthappy - carolynheath is correct - unfortunately I dont have .htaaccess as my hosting company doesnt supply that in their windows environment which is what I'm currently using.

My options seem to be a perl script under windows if thats do-able, or alternatively migrating to my hosts linux environment which does provide .htaccess.

Currently debating the pros & cons of windows vs linux from a site development & maintenance point of view. So far the advantage of linux seems to be .htaccess which will allow me to do the 301 redirect I need.

 

Report back - have taken the linux route and all's working well!

 

do you do customized coding
