Or you could use the XML interface which is probably a lot better
suited to this.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://w3c.org/;output=xml

and if you submit a HEAD request then you can just pick out the
X-W3C-Validator-Status HTTP header.

Heck, if you're using Perl and feeling really lazy then:

http://search.cpan.org/~struan/WebService-Validator-HTML-W3C-0.01/

will do most of it for you. (obDisclaimer: I wrote it ;)

OK, so you'll need to construct the code to produce the link but
that's a simple matter of programming ;)
