Checkbot is a tool to verify links on a set of HTML pages. Checkbot can check a single document, or a set of documents on one or more servers. It creates a report which summarizes all links which caused some kind of warning or error.

Requirements:
perl 5 (version 5.8 recommended)
LWP 5.76 (the libwww-perl 5 module)
HTML::Parser 3.33
URI 1.10
Net::FTP 2.58 (available in the libnet package)
Mail::Send 1.03 (optional, needed to use --mailto option, available in the MailTools package)
Time::Duration (optional, used to show lapsed time in the reports)

What's New in This Release:
Don't throw errors for links that cannot be expected to be valid all the time (e.g. the classid attribute of an object element)
Better fallbacks for some cases where the HEAD request does not work
Add more classes and ids to allow more styling of results pages (including example CSS file)
Ensure XHTML compliance
Better checks for optional dependencies
