CGIProxy is a Perl CGI script that acts as an Internet proxy. Through it, you can retrieve resources that may be inaccessible from your own machine. The user is kept as anonymous as possible from any servers. HTTP and FTP are supported, and optionally SSL. Common uses include censorship circumvention, VPN-like setups, anonymous proxies, personal proxies, and others. Options include text-only browsing (to save bandwidth), selective cookie and script removal, simple ad filtering, access restriction by server, encoded target URLs and cookies, configuration by end user, and much more (currently about 50 config options). Javascript and Flash are fully supported. An online demo is available.
Checklinks is yet Another HTML Link Checker (in Perl 5). Features include SSI (.shtml) support, direct file reads where possible, HTML 4.0, HTTP 1.1, and aliases and other server options. Other useful but more common features include regular expressions to restrict the URLs searched and results reported, and a detailed verbose report. Checklinks was written with Apache in mind, and you can feed it your srm.conf file to auto-configure many settings.
DBMEdit is a web-based DBM database editor (in Perl 5). If you use DBM files and don't have a simple way to edit them, you'll want this. It treats each element in the DBM as several fields joined by a delimiter, in effect supporting multiple columns within the single-column DBM format. DBMEdit displays your DBM database as a table, and provides auto-sized forms to add or edit records. Multi- user access is safe.
The HTML::Defaultify Perl module is designed to allow CGI programmers to present forms with some fields filled in, which is handy for letting users correct bad input, show records to be edited, and much more. The main function, defaultify(), takes any block of HTML and a hash of field names and values, and returns the HTML with the form fields set to those values. Value lists for multiple same-named fields are supported, as are pages with multiple forms. Several different input formats are supported for compatibility with existing tools.
