Are you asking how to loop over the results of an SQL select and then feed each result to file::fetch?

use DBI;
use File::Fetch;
my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $user, $password)
  or die "Couldn't connect to database: " . DBI->errstr;
my $query = "select url FROM tablexxx where date='?'"; # << minor edit
my $SQL = $dbh->prepare($query) or die "prepare: ".$dbh->errstr;
$SQL-> execute('202207') or die "execute: ".$dbh->errstr;

while (my $row = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
   print "url: $row->{url}\n";
   # logic to get unique filename for output
   my $outfile = ...;
   my $ff = File::Fetch->new( uri => $url );
   $ff->fetch(to => $outfile) or die "failed to fetch '$url' to '$outf
+ile'.";
   # or get file contents in a scalar and then process them, e.g. to e
+xtract
   # pdf metadata e.g. date, author, and md5 hash
   my $contents;
   $ff->fetch(to => \$contents);
   # use PDF::API2
   my %options;
   my $pdf = PDF::API2->from_string($contents, %options);
   my $author = $pdf->author(); # I wish it was that simple... you may
+ need to sieve through all the metadata
}
