lampros21_7 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi to all, i have been making a program to get just the text content and the links from a website. You can see it here

Loop will not save into the array

The thing is i have made this program save the links and the contents in arrays, but that was mostly to see whether i would be able to make this work. It partially does, as it shows in that post but i was wondering if it would be easy to change some things in it and save the contents and the links in a database. Do you think the problems i encounter when trying to save the links and the content in arrays would be solved when i tried to save them in a databse? I was thinking of using mySQL. Any better ideas or is this the best one?Thanks

    What problems are you encountering when saving your data in arrays? It should be just as possible to do that as use a database. Do you want your data to be persistent? (i.e. continue to exist after the script has finished), if not, I see no reason to use a database.

      It gives me an "Use of uninitialized value" error. When it goes into the loop for some reason it wont write that information in the array. I want my data to be persistent thats why i eventually want to use a database. Thanks castaway
