# set once outside loop, not each time around
my $url = 'http://rscript.org/lookup.php?type=namecheck&name=';
foreach my $name (@raw_data) {
  chomp $name;
  #my $name = $name; # ??? set above
  #print "$url$name\r\n";
  #my $content = ("GET", '$url$name'); get is a function from LWP::Sim
+ple
  #my $content = ("GET", '$url$name'); $url$name in single quotes is t
+hat exact text
  my $content = get("$url$name");
  die "Couldn't get $url$name" unless defined $content;

  if($content =~ "NAMECHECK: NOTAVALIBLE") {
