Assuming each letter is in an H2 tag (and that these are the only H2 tags) and that each structure is identical.

This should do the trick. We collect the data into a HoH (%href).

Hope this helps.

my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new(\$html);
my (%href, $this_href, $number, $letter);

while (my $t = $p->get_token){
  
  if ($t->is_start_tag('h2')){
    $letter = $p->get_trimmed_text('/h2');
    next;
  }
  
  if ($t->is_start_tag('a')){
    # skip bookmarks
    next if $t->get_attr('name');
    $this_href =  $t->get_attr('href');
    next;
  }
  
  if ($t->is_start_tag('span')){
    $number = $p->get_trimmed_text('/span');
    $href{$letter}{$this_href} = $number;
    next;
  }
  
}
