the problem isn't that I am unable to loop through it. the problem is I
provide a perl module for interfacing with the mediawiki api. It has a
helper function for the list query types, which automatically handles
query continues and combines multiple results. the backlinks doesn't work
with it however, and must be processed manually.

Thanks for looking into this. the array format is easier to process which
is used by most of the list calls and doesn't have the repeating of
information too (pageid->pageid).

Best Regards

Jools
