an aimlessly wondering bot

[littleman]

Has anybody here thrown one together?
Care to share the code?
I'm trying to throw something together that is as light as possible. I think a IO::Socket program probably would be the way to go?
Thoughts?

Don't know if you've seen this one [ics.uci.edu] LM, you could use it to build your own, or just use it. I think using sockets will mean a lot of code.

Thanks Air,
I did come across that one a while ago, but I lost it in bookmark hell, thanks. I was thinking socket because I want this bot to just be working in the background randomly hitting sites.

I've been building simple bots a lot lately to do this and that, but I need this one just to surf without any aim -- kind of like the various email rippers out there, but I don't need it to retrieve any data. I just need it to go from site to site and try to avoid loops.
I built something today that kind of does this but it will eventually run out of process. It isn't truly random, which is what I would like.

I know it sounds wacky...
