I think using a regex on the entire file may get a little complicated.

I would use HTML::TokeParser to pull the links out of your file and then modify them from there, like so

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use HTML::TokeParser;
use strict;

my $i=0;
## set marker definintions
my @markers = qw/ anfnf11 iopi1p83288 9032-jjjf /;
my $htmlfile = "index.html";
my $content;

## get contents of your html file
open (FILE," $htmlfile") || die "Cannot open HTML file for parsing!: $
+!\n";
while(<FILE>) {
        $content .= $_;
}
close(FILE);

my $parse = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$content);
while (my $token = $parse->get_tag("a")) {
        my $url = $token->[1]{href} || "-";     ## put link into $url
        my $text = $parse->get_trimmed_text("/a");      ## put link de
+sc into $text
        if ($markers[$i]) {
                print "<a href=$url/$markers[$i]>$text</a>\n";
        } else {
                ## no more markers...
        }
        $i++;
}
exit;

Update: fixed the way data was put into $content courtesy of Hofmator.
