Something like this may help... 

if ($res->is_success) {
   #Normal retrievel of content stuff
}else{
   #check for redirects
  if ($res->code() =~ /30[12]/){    #redirect codes (temp/perm)
     #grab the location
     my $remote_cgi = $res->header('Location');
    {
       # Some servers erroneously return a relative URL for redirects,
       # so make it absolute if it not already is.
       local $URI::ABS_ALLOW_RELATIVE_SCHEME = 1;
       my $base = $res->base;
       $remote_cgi = $HTTP::URI_CLASS->new($remote_cgi,$base)->abs($ba
+se);
    }

}else{
    # Request failed normaly, broken link
}
