in thread unix perl web spider

Bare bones means it doesn't do much. It a statement about functionality, not quality. Your code doesn't even provide the bones. It's useless on any site that uses relative links, frames, links to other sites with sites with lots of link, or links containing &. I'd be hard-pressed to find a site on which it works. That's not mentioning the major security bug.
