Hello Perl Monks,
My usage of Perl has been light, I've never studied it. If I needed to do something I looked how to do that specific task and moved on. But I've hit a hurdle with WWW::Mechanize::Link.
I have no problem with the beginning part:
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get( $url );
my @links = $mech->links();
print Dumper (@links);
And with the Dumper I can see all the data in there, including the parts I want (i.e. specific links). What I cannot figure out how to do is to cast those arrays in @links into individual WWW::Mechanize::Link objects and loop through them. I've tried nested foreach loops, but in the end I just come up with a mess. Each new array just has more arrays, and sometimes a hash reference that I can't dereference.
I figure that there must be a proper way.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Thank you
