hi, i posted a question about mechanize and the $mech->links() method, from what i read that produces a hash refrence to all the links on a page. and in order to get the actual urls its $url = $links->url(); which works fine.. now i have a different problem. im trying to scrape all the links off of a page that contain 6 digits somewhere in the url. however i keep getting duplicates once i print what is in the array, so how would i be able to get rid of the duplicates and save that to another array for later use.. this is the code that i have so far. 
$i=1;
$mech->get("http://www.somesite.com/");
@links = $agent->links();

foreach (@links) {
if ($links[$i]->url() =~ m!(-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*)!) {
$links[$i]->url() =~ m!([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*)!;
$art[$i] = $1;
print "$art[$i]\n";
}
$i++;
}
