And here's a way that doesn't require you to start using a different datastructure: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my @urls  = qw {yahoo.com  ebay.com  google.com};
my @links = qw {yahoo      ebay      google};

my @s_ind = sort {$urls [$a] cmp $urls [$b]} 0 .. $#urls;

@urls  = @urls  [@s_ind];
@links = @links [@s_ind];

print "@urls\n";
print "@links\n";
__END__
ebay.com google.com yahoo.com
ebay google yahoo

The code constructs an array with indices. First index is the position of the url that should come first, second index is the position of the url that should come second, etc, etc. Given that, sorting the urls and links happen in the same way.
