I want to get url_2 by url_1 in perl. Previous source is below.

    my ($url) = @_;
    my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

    $ua->proxy('http', 'SAMPLE_PROXY');
    my $req = new HTTP::Request(GET => $url);
    my $res = $ua->request($req);

Answer 1

You can find the request that lead to a response using

$response->request()

You can get the previous response in the chain using

$response->previous()

All together:

while ($response) {
   say $response->request()->uri();
   $response = $response->previous();
}
