This Perl script connects to a given CSW catalog, downloads metadata posts as a XML file and parses its contents. The script reports links to metadata, tests information and service links, and reports eventual fails. It can also use the Inspire validator to get compliance reports for Inspire metadata.

The script requires Perl and a number of Perl modules. Requests to the Inspire validator need curl. Written to run on Linux, may need some adaptation to work on other operative systems.
