I should have mentioned that I am on activeperl 5.86 (I assume WWW::Mechanize::Link is inbuilt in mechanize?? I haven't been able to find it in the active repository ) So far this is what I have, it simply compiles and goes on to the next prompt, however nothing is done, based on the regular expression which I double checked, the url in file1.html should match the regular expression, maybe it is something basic I have missed 
#! perl\bin\perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();



open(FILE, "< file1.html") || print "Unable to open the file file1 \n"
+;





while (<FILE>)
{
     for my $l ($mech->links) {
    my $url  = $l->url;
    my $desc = $l->text;
    my $new  = $url;
       $new =~ s/on\.fe/arax.com/;

    print "concerning $desc, $url should be $new\n";
    
    # $mech->get( $new );
}

    
}


close(FILE);
