[ale] making duplicate files

[ChangingLINKS.com]

Thank you Dylan, Geoffrey and Pete for cranking out those scripts. I chose to 
use the perl script below, and it finished so quickly, I thought there was an 
error.

Just in case anyone cares, I am using the script to make files to add to my 
website and generate pages from the database. I am doing this in hopes that a 
particular "malfunctioning" search engine will pick up the data and give me 
credit for the pages.

In my study, I have found that having lots of local pages helps search engine 
ranking for at least 1-3 major engines.
