$all_links[3] needs to be cleaned up. It contains as trailing "\n" and there
is a space between "http://"; and "bolinux39" that should not be there.

The "\n" is easily addressed by: chomp @all_links;

You should look at your script to determine how the space got there. You can
get rid of all spaces by: $all_links[3] =~ s/ //g;
but that may not be what you want. You're better off figuring out how the
unwanted space got there in the first place and making sure it doesn't.
