What Corion said. The @links are WWW::Mechanize::Link objects already–

use WWW::Mechanize;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 0 );

$mech->get("https://perlmonks.org/?node=Recently+Active+Threads");

for my $link ( $mech->links )
{
    printf "* %s\n  -> %s\n", $link->text, $link->url_abs;
}

First off, thank you. But this opens something that I've missed in Perl. What I was doing was: `print "name\t\t$link->name\n";` Which gave me: name WWW::Mechanize::Link=ARRAY(0x55bbd8e7d100)->name So what am I not understanding? Why does Perl not interpret this?	[reply] [d/l]

Method calls don't interpolate. Nor do subroutine calls or indeed anything other than simple variables and their dereferences. See the FAQ: How do I expand function calls in a string? for alternatives and workarounds. Update: and also How can I expand variables in text strings? for good measure.	[reply]
