I'm improving an old script that I had that downloaded some wallpapers for me. I need to know how many

pages of wallpapers one category have. Each link has the number of the page as its text, ie:


<a href="/planes-desktop-wallpapers/page/8">8</a>
<a href="/planes-desktop-wallpapers/page/9">9</a>
<a href="/planes-desktop-wallpapers/page/10">10</a>

[download]

So I need to capture the number ten, because then I can know for sure how many pages that category has.

I've been trying something like:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
use List::Util qw(max);

...

my $site = "http://www.hdwallpapers.in
           /planes-desktop-  wallpapers.html";
$mech->get($site);
my @links = map {$_->text} grep {$_->text =~ m/\d+/}
$mech->find_all_links();
print max @links;

[download]

Problem is I'm also getting some junk in the array (not only numbers), so I get a compile error.

Can someone please shed some enlightenment here? tnx
