Yes, that did work. Thanks.

I tried my own version of (see below) and to my suprise, it didn't work! lol. 

foreach ($mech->links()) { print "$_<br>"}

But that's okay since yours does. Only reason I wanted to do this was to see what # my link was but from the print out, I don't think the printout order is the order I need in order to follow a specific link.

Before I try 

    $mech->get( $url );
    $mech->follow_link( url_regex => qr/Frogs and Toads/i );

I need to know I'm doing this on the right URL. Is there a way I can check this link? I tried using find_link and printing it out but it's printing out "index.cgi" and NOT the Frogs and Toads link so I have a feeling if I use follow_link it won't be going to the right link.

How can I be sure?

Thanks and sorry for the noobie questions
