shouldn't be any size limit, here's the method in WWW::Mechanize that parses the links: 
sub _extract_links {
    require WWW::Mechanize::Link;

    my $self = shift;

    my $p = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$self->{content});
    
    $self->{links} = [];

    while (my $token = $p->get_tag( keys %urltags )) {
        my $tag = $token->[0];
        my $url = $token->[1]{$urltags{$tag}};

        my $text;
        my $name;
        if ( $tag eq "a" ) {
            $text = $p->get_trimmed_text("/$tag");
            $text = "" unless defined $text;

        my $onClick = $token->[1]{onclick};
        if ( $onClick && ($onClick =~ /^window\.open\(\s*'([^']+)'/) )
+ {
        $url = $1;
        }
        }
        if ( $tag ne "area" ) {
            $name = $token->[1]{name};
        }

        next unless defined $url;   # probably just a name link or <AR
+EA NOHREF...>
        push( @{$self->{links}}, WWW::Mechanize::Link->new( $url, $tex
+t, $name, $tag, $self->base ) );
    }

    # Old extract_links() returned a value.  Carp if someone expects
    # this version to return something.
    if ( defined wantarray ) {
        my $func = (caller(0))[3];
        $self->warn( "$func does not return a useful value" );
    }

    return;
}
