[Novalug] MyLinks.pl A CLI Perl program to make a web page with links to sites - Beta testers wanted

[Bonnie Dalzell]

I have put together a PERL program called MyLinks that runs from the command 
line (at this time) and allows you to paste in a URI, then the site name and 
then a "topic" entry which can have a number of key words in it.

It generates a "|" separated data file of these things and also a html page 
that you can open in your browser. On the html page the links are live and open 
the sites in a new window or tab (depending on how you have the browser set).

Each time it is run it adds your new sites to the datafile and regenerates the 
html page.

The datafile is easily editable in a text editor.

Why bother with this when the browser has book marks?

(1) I have found that when you get enough things in the bookmarks it becomes 
hard to both find sites and also to save things to appropriate folders.

With MyLinks.html you just do a search on your topic key words or on the words 
in the site name.

(2) if you want to make a links page for your site then you can quickly 
assemble a basic set of links with description.

You need PERL installed on your system to use MyLinks.pl but it should 
otherwise be crossplatform. (Linux, Amiga,Mac OSX, DOS, Windoze)
