Hi to the fellow monks

I have made a test program to try and make URI::URL work to make some relative url's turn into absolute ones. Obviously, am doing something wrong because the output should be a list of URL's but instead am getting the relative url's instead of the absolute ones. The code is below: 

use URI::URL;
use WWW::Mechanize;


my $url = 'http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/';

my $url1 = URI::URL->new($url);

my $webcrawler = WWW::Mechanize->new();
my $content = $webcrawler->get($url);
my @links = map { $_->[0] } $webcrawler->links;

my $base = $url1->base();
my @absolute_links = map { $_= url($_, $base)->abs; } @links;

print "@linkarray \n";

I have tried printing both the (linkarray) and (links) arrays but i get the same result which is get the url's as they are in the html document(the relative links). Any idea what i should change? Maybe the map function for the absolute_links array is nt written right but am not too sure how to change it.Help is greatly appreciated!
