The database isn't storing the last word it comes across each time through the loop. In fact, the database shows to be empty when I loop through it at the top (commented out now).

For the life of me I can't figure out why the database isn't storing the newest word. I've tried everything. Twice. My only hypothesis is it's not storing because I CTRL+C my way out of the program each time because the dictionary is so large that it'll take quite some time to work through.

Could this be the problem? If so, how could I go about being able to stop the script safely where the database will save the last word?

The dictionary file is not blank. The array is fine. The entire script works properly except for the database. When the script is done, there will be a sleep between each page parse as to be nice to GoDaddy.

Any suggestions?

       fields         => {
       domainToCheck  => "$word"
       }
