# Name: checkalive.pl v2.01
# Description: This script will go thru a list of URLs & determine if they are online & if they are Mediawiki wikis.
# It should work with: "/index.php/Main_Page", "index.php", "api.php" and even pages such as: "/wiki/Pagina_principale".
# If the URl is not "api.php", it will look for it, check it, and output it if found to be a valid api.php. If not found,
# it will output the URL with "index.php" if that's available.
