SOLVED: reading config file in a perl script
Hi!
I have a need to do this in Perl.
script.pl -config file
The script would be doing a wget/LWP on a URL which is defined in the config file.
So when I run the script it should return either one of these conditions -
1) OK with exit status 0.
Should also print "wget URL"
2) WARN with exit status of 1.
Should also print "wget URL"
3) ERROR/FATAL with exit status of 2.
Should also print "wget URL"
4) If the script doesnt return anything (no output, times out) -
Timed Out with exit status 2.
Should also print "wget URL"
So the output can be:
script -config file
OK
wget URL-used
#echo $?
0
Thanks,
Jack.
