Hi, tnx for your fast reply, now its working. But please, explain me something... why do I have to call the find_all_links function with no arguments to it so my @links array gets filled? That was not much clear to me... one friend of mine was helping me with this script tnx for your time.	[reply]

Why do I have to call the find_all_links function with no arguments to it so my @links array gets filled? Perhaps you were distracted by the multi-line statement? This: `my @links = map {$_->text} grep {$_->text =~ m/^\d+$/} $mech->find_all_links();` [download] is equivalent to this: `my @links = map {$_->text} grep {$_->text =~ m/^\d+$/} $mech->find_all +_links();` [download] (When I first read the original, I didn't see the lack of semicolon on line 1, which made me think it was an example from Damian's time reversed variables.) Then read right to left. -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply] [d/l] [select]
