Perl can do it:

However, I don' want to install dozens of Perl modules just to get
this simple job done (that's bullshit web programming for ya').

Therefore, I break it into pieces.

First, I extract the links using "hrefgrep -p -s > links.txt."

Hrefgrep is Perl code. (http://home.linuxfocus.org/~guido/#webgrep)

Thank the gods for FOSS!

Then I process each link to see if it is viable.

Thanks for nothing, assholes.
