Yup, I meant to link to the Tutorials category Variables and Scoping

Function which don't take arguments are bad

Your original code perltidyd

How to write it so its coping with scoping :)

sub Main {
    my $mech = ...;
    ...;
    Get_Success( $mech );
    ...;
}
sub Get_Success {
    my( $mech ) = @_;
    #prints the success result and starts a new line.
    print $mech->success();
    print "\n";
}

Or better still, use the existing features of Mechanize

#!/usr/local/bin/perl --
use strict; use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize 1.72;

Main( @ARGV );
exit( 0 );

sub Main
{
    my $search = shift;
    my $mech  = WWW::Mechanize->new( qw/
        autocheck 1
        show_progress 1
    /);
    $mech->get( $search );

    my @serverLinks = $mech->find_all_links( url_regex => qr/_css/i );
    for my $link( @serverLinks ) {
        for my $member ( qw/ url text name tag / ){
            no warnings 'uninitialized';
            print $link->$member, "\n" ;
        }
    }
}
