You can see some of the things I have tried
below.
I know I can do this link extraction myself with
LinkExtor, or at least think I can do it, but
I'd like to know how to dereference this script.

Hey Mike
What you have written can be fixed by changing it to
for (my $num = 0; $num <= $#linkder; $num++) {
print STDERR "@{$linkder[$num]}\n";
}
or even
for (my $num = 0; $num <= $#{$links}; $num++) {
print STDERR "@{$links->[$num]}\n";
}
but it is much clear and more Perlish to write
foreach my $link (@$links) {
print STDERR "@{$link}\n";
}
Remember: everywhere you could put a simple variable identifier you can
put a reference. Surrounding it in braces is always valid and helps
resolve ambiguity, so @linkder is the same as @{linkder} is the same as
@{$links}. Likewise, $linkder[$num] (or $links->[$num]) is an array
reference, and can be dereferenced with @{$linkder[$num]}.
