dhoss,
Let's assume your employer is so happy with the work you have done and how quickly, they want you to now check that all the pages linked to from the scholarship page have valid links, and the ones they link to have...

With only small variations, your code can be turned into a depth first search (DFS). 

my (%seen, @bad_link);
for my $url (@base_pages) {
    my @work = get_links($url);
    while (@work) {
        my $link = pop @work;
        next if $seen{$link}++;
        if (is_good($link)) {
            push @work, get_links($link);
        }
        else {
            push @bad_link, $link;
        }        
    }
}

I know this is your employer and obeying the rules of robots.txt probably doesn't apply to you but you should keep it in mind for any crawler you write as well as a delay between page fetches to be nice to the server.

Cheers - L~R
