Hi Monks, I have a long string full of HREF's for links that map things over a .GIF image of a visio diagram. I have a need to modify the HREF's when the image is displayed, but I only need to change the ones that fit that match below. There are often (not always) many matches in the string. For each match, $1 will be different. However, I need to take $1 from the match, use it to get more info from the database and use the result in a substitution at that point. 
    if ($$imageMap =~ /name=(.*?)_DIAGLINK/){
        $diagId = $1;
        $dbh = ConnectDB($User, $Password);
        $sql = "SELECT version FROM diagramversion WHERE diagram_id='$
+diagId' AND workflow_state='Stored'";  #to_char(version,'099') didn't
+ work
        $sth = RunJobDB($dbh, $sql);
        @version = $sth->fetchrow_array;
        $version = $version[0];
        $sth->finish();
        DisconnectDB($dbh);
        $version = sprintf( "%03d", $version );
        $fullId = $diagId."-".$version;
        
        $$imageMap =~ s/ViewObject.pl\?name=(.*?)_DIAGLINK/dia_View.pl
+?diagram_id=$fullId/i;
    }

How can I do this so that it works properly for each substitution ??
