Perl script

We're planning on doing transparent proxying via policy routing on our Cisco
4700M. We would like to have some safeguards
in place if the cache goes down though. Some have mentioned using a perl
script to "ping" web pages on the proxy to make sure it's alive, then go in
to the cisco and enable/disable the policy routing as needed. Has anyone
worked up such a script they'd be willing to share with others on this list?
