No idea, but its probaably ugly as f*** code.

Paging Spook to this thread.

You and your incessant Gooogling Jim, where will it end?

I've heard you can see the Matrix after you understand the Perl SOAP module.

ill check some perl code at work tomrorow that calls urls

exec("/usr/bin/php -q ~/run_real_script_to_do_http_calls.php");

OH YES I DID!

Google: Perl LWP

lwp is the first result of my search string above!

Yeah, seriously, why Perl? Everytime you use Perl a baby dolphin dies. Everytime you use assembly a school of baby dolphins die.

And everytime you write a stupid C/C++ preprocessor macro that noone else can understand...don't even get me started.

provided you're not completely new to it, it's quick and easy to do things with, is very efficient, has a vast and long-standing community support base and exists on practically all unix-based systems

...and he probably has no choice in this instance ;)

lol ticman, so true.
1 line of php code would do it, and 100% less f***ing around.

ORLY FOOL?

So does Bash.

Hey, it's not my problem you're not a good enough coder to follow what's going on when I do s*** like
#define TRUE false
#define NULL 0xFCA36EBD
#define if(x) if(!(x))

:)

haha, I just love that about 10 posts down, someone actually spots the bug.

even if that were true, what would it have to do with anything anyway? you dumbass

#define TRUE false
#define NULL 0xFCA36EBD
#define if(x) if(!(x))

/brain explodes.
