I wrote a similar script some time ago. It stored my links in a database and i set up a bookmark that used javascript so i could add the current page in one click. But that's not why i am posting. This is why i am posting:

sub slurp
{
  my $file =shift;
  my $save = $/;
  undef $/;
  open FIL, "$file";
  my $input= <FIL>;
  close FIL;
  my @list = split /$save/, $input;
  $/ = $save;
  return @list;
}
[download]

After you open the file, just do this:

my @list = <FIL>;
[download]

No need to store $/, shove the lines into a scalar and then split em back into an array. Additionally, if you have to store the file contents into a scalar, this is a much nicer way:

my $input = do { local $/; <FIL> };
[download]

And, (once again!) drop this:

for (my $i=1; $i <= $pop->Count(); $i++)
[download]

for this:

for my $i(1..$pop->Count())
[download]
