How do you get the URL of the page after your last request via www::mechanize? I was reading the DOCS and it looks like $mech->uri() should hold the URL but all it does is error out with 
Use of uninitialized value in string at bot.pl line 194.

I have a feeling this site occassionally redirects to an IP address when the traffic is at high tide and I need to test whether or not my URLs are still accessible. 
   my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
   $mech->get($url);
   print $mech->uri();
