What stevieb said. Handing someone a bunch of code and saying "This doesn't work. Please figure out how it should work and fix it" is not likely to be productive unless you also hand over a bunch of money.

That said, one note: In the regex
    my @urls=$response_body =~ m{(http://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/ ... }gi;
the sub-pattern  b.thumbs.redditmedia.com has embedded  . (dot) metacharacters that match anything (except a newline, unless the  /s switch is asserted, which it isn't). Here's the effect:

c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le "for my $str (qw(aXbXc a.b.c)) { printf qq{for '$str' }; print $str =~ m{ a.b.c }xms ? 'match' : 'NO match'; } " for 'aXbXc' match for 'a.b.c' match
Now try meta-quoting in some way, e.g.:
c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le "for my $str (qw(aXbXc a.b.c)) { printf qq{for '$str' }; print $str =~ m{ \Qa.b.c\E }xms ? 'match' : 'NO match'; } " for 'aXbXc' NO match for 'a.b.c' match


Give a man a fish:  <%-{-{-{-<
