it will work something like this

# Create a user agent object
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
# Create a request
my $tempurl;
$req = new HTTP::Request GET => $tempurl;
# Pass request to the user agent and get a response back
$res = $ua->request($req);

# Check the outcome of the response
if ($res->is_success) {
print "ok
";
}
else {
print"bad link"
}
