Re: How do I tell if a remote site is up?

use Net::Telnet f.e.

use Net::Telnet;
 
if ( my $t=new Net::Telnet(Port => 80, Host => "localhost", Timeout =>
+ 5 )->open() ) {
   print "localhost is active";
   $t->close();
   };
[download]

Or in shell,

echo "."|telnet localhost 80
[download]

This should do the trick
