Just for reference, the libwww-perl package comes with some useful
aliases, HEAD, GET, etc.:

~$ ls -lh $(readlink -f $(which HEAD))
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 14K 2005-02-14 00:35 /usr/bin/lwp-request

~$ HEAD -S alcopop.org
HEAD http://alcopop.org --> 302 Moved Temporarily
HEAD http://alcopop.org/log/ --> 200 OK
