I'm using WWW::Mechanize and having an intermittent problem when executing a series of Google searches. Currently less than 100 but wish to scale significantly. It's a state problem of some sort. If I wait a bit, the script will execute properly. The error message follows "Error GETing htIndexRedirect?tps://ipv4.google.com/sorry/continue...ECHOS-MY-REQUESTED-URL....Service Unavailable at script line nnn"

 #!/usr/bin/perl
 
     # create a new browser
    use WWW::Mechanize;
    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
    $mech->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new());

sub GETURL {
    $start_time = time;
    $output_buffer = "";
    print OUTDATA "Retrieving $_\n";
    if ($mech->get("$_")) {
        $_ = $mech->content();
        $time = time-$start_time;
        print OUTDATA "Seconds $time\n";
        while (s/\n\n/\n/) {}
        }
    else { print OUTDATA " ERROR\n";}
    sleep (1);
