Perl Script -- Auto Login?

[imported_LoKe]

I'd like to get ahold of a script that would essentially log onto a website using two or more ports and report back if it was sucessful or not. Basically what I want it to do is log into my email account and tell me if it got in. This is just so I can display Gmail's server status.

Logging into the web page will be more work, but if you want you could use GMail's pop3 support and use Net:😛OP3 to login and check the server.

Sounds more realistic. Could you point me in the right direction as to what I should google?

 

[Nothinman]

Right direction to find out how to use Net:😛OP3 or to a script that's already written?

 

[imported_LoKe]

Either/or. Or could I simply ping the pop3 server?

 

[Nothinman]

From a quick look at the man page using Net:😛OP3 is simple, you'll really only need like 3 lines to connect to the server, login and quit.

Thanks, I'll look into that.
