in thread Some Weird behavior with BerkeleyDB and WWW::Mechanize

I tested your code (I added two URLs to the hash) and I can't reproduce your problem. Neither key nor value get modified in any strange ways.

Maybe try to move your pageContents files and start with an empty, clean one and check if the error still occurs.

    i get the following error :  Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/HTTP/Cookies.pm line 45. each time through the loop. I think this is happening somewhere within the WWW::Mechanize->get(), maybe this regex is modifying the regex somehow?

      I seriously doubt that.

      If you look at sub get in Mechanize.pm: 

      sub get {
    my $self = shift;
    my $uri = shift;
...

      The parameter $uri is passed by value, which means it is copied.

      Even it is modified later on, you'll never see that in your script because it's just a copy that's modified.

      However the uninitialized value might be a hint. Check $url for definedness, and die if it's not, then rerun your script.

        $url is defined and still generates this error... I dont understand why, I even get a error with LWP::Simple. this is an example of a key | value printed from the exact code posted above, a value that creates that weird error:
        $key: --Bwmk_a61s
$value: www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Bwmk_a61s  Camouflage en Santiago  2

        so the $url is www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Bwmk_a61s

        i checked, if i add a http:// to the front of the urls, I still encounter the same problems. weird!
