    Please read the WWW::Mechanize documentation. There is no need for the sledgehammer approach to catching exceptions from ->get, as WWW::Mechanize will happily cooperate if you allow it to.

      No thanks, I like the life or death approach

    Hi Thanks

    what is the number 1 reffer in the script?

[reply]
      True value. I never remember if get return true on success so I always type 1, because I know that it will die on failure , which always returns false (and then the or warn part is executed).
