How can you make www::mech not die when it runs into an error? I'm trying to create a link bot for my site and it comes across a specific w3c link that ALWAYS kills the script with Software error: Error GETing http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer: Precondition Failed at getlinks.pl line 216

My current script is

foreach my $newlink (keys %templinks) { my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 ); $mech->get( $newlink ); foreach ($mech->find_all_links) { $templinks{$_->url} = $_->url; } }
Without manually removing this bad link from the script, how can I make it SKIP this and any future links that it can't load for whatever reason and move on to the next without warnings or errors?
