You left out the mandatory "escape HTML entity" calls. Shame on you. 
use HTML::Entities qw(encode_entities);
use URI::Find;
...
my $finder = URI::Find->new # instead of URI::Find::Schemeless
  ( 
    sub {
      my ($uri, $originalUri) = @_;
      return join "",
        q/<a href="/,
        encode_entities("$uri"),
        q/">/,
        encode_entities($originalUri),
        q/>/;
    }
  );

Yes, I've already complained to the author. He "fixed" the manpage incorrectly, by escaping the entire source text first. That breaks in-page URLs that look like http://example.com/foo/bar?a=b&c=d. {sigh} I was too worn out explaining to him why that was wrong to submit another fix.
