I am attempting to teach myself some perl and thought I would make a small project for myself

My first project was simply parsing some html and downloading the videos

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use WWW::Mechanize;

$url='https://class.coursera.org/automata-002/lecture/index';
$m = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$m->get($url);
my @links = $m->find_all_links(url_regex => qr/lecture_id/i );
for my $link(@links){
printf "link: %s\n",$link->url;
printf("%s", $link->url);
}

[download]

So I just piped this into a file and used wget -i to read the url's from the file but I cannot figure out how to do this all inside perl. Any help or links would be appreciated. My goal is simply to dld and name the vid links.

Thanks in advance!
