It helps finding broken links on your website. chklinks differs from linkchecker in that chklinks is non-threaded. It does not raises many simultaneously connections for its job. It won't run out of the resources and crash your system in a moment. This is certainly more desirable for most webmasters and users. chklinks follows robots.txt rules. If you disallow robots from your website and experience problems, you need to allow chklinks. Add the following lines to your robots.txt file to allow chklinks: User-agent: chklinks Disallow: chklinks uses LWP::RobotUA(3) and support the following schemes: http, https, ftp, gopher, file. You can also specify a local file. (To use https, you need to install Crypt::SSLeay.) chklinks supports cookies. See INSTALL for instructions on how to install chklinks. If you encounter warnings like this: Parsing of undecoded UTF-8 will give garbage when decoding entities at /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol.pm line 114. This is a LWP::Protocol(3) issue when working with HTML::Parser(3) version >= 3.40. See CPAN RT Bug#20274 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20274 for a LWP::Protocol(3) patch on this. chklinks is hosted on SourceForge, CPAN and Tavern IMACAT's.
