Re: WWW::Mechanize - error on geting non-existing page

With current versions of WWW::Mechanize, autocheck is enabled causing $mech to die in these situations. Here is how you might want to handle it:

eval { $mech->get($url); };
if ($@) {
    if ($mech->status == 404) {
        # handle page not found
    }
    else {
        die "Mech failed to fetch '$url': $@";
    }
}
