Hi Monks, I am creating a blog posting website using perl but if i post something example like "Hey guys try this link: http://site.com/" i want the link to be detected and clickable i tried but i failed here's my code: 
$query=qq{SELECT ....};
$queryhandle=$connect->prepare($query);
$queryhandle->execute();
while(my $blog=$queryhandle->fetchrow_hashref()){
    HTML::Entities:encode($blog->{blog_post});
    for(split/ /, $blog->{blog_post}){
        print "<a href='$_'>$_</a>" and next if $_=~m/^http/;
    }
    print "$_";
}
print "<br />";

...

but if you entered an enter character in your blog example: "hey guys try this link: http://site.com/<enter char>so nice!" yes it's clickable but the link is "http://site.com/so" it only stops in a space character any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
