Hi, i have asked about another error message before but now i get a syntax error message about the last line of my code. It says "syntax error at WebCrawler.pl near $webcrawler(".

It says in the documentation for WWW::Mechanize that i need the HTML::TreeBuilder but i have installed that so thats not the problem. The $stripped_html[$x] = $webcrawler( format => "text"); line is part of the module WWW::Mechanize.pm

Thanks 

our $webcrawler = WWW::Mechanize->new();
                           
 #Grab the contents of the URL given by the user
 our $webcrawler = get($url_name);
 
 # Put the links that exist in the HTML of the URL given by the user i
+n an array
 our @website_links = $webcrawler->links($url_name);  
 
 # The HTML is stripped off the contents and the text is stored in an 
+array of  strings
 our $x = 0;
 my @stripped_html;
 $stripped_html[$x] = $webcrawler( format => "text");
