minor suggestion, the # Parse notes file loop, I would write as 
# Parse notes file
{
  local $/ = "\n\n"; # Double-newline separates input records
  while (<>) {

    my $this_line = "";

    # escape everything before @tags
    $this_line = HTML::Entities::encode("$1") . "$2"
      if /^([^@]*)(.*)/s;

    # url encode and html escape tags
    $this_line =~ s|
      \@(           # capture to $1
           [^\s@]+  # more flexible than \w+
        )\b
                   |
        push @{$lines{"$1"}}, \$this_line;
                    # maybe rework following using URI
        my $oneEH = HTML::Entities::encode($1);
        my $oneE = CGI::escapeHTML(CGI::escape($1));
        qq~<a href="$url$oneE">$oneEH</a>~;
                   |gex;

    push @all_notes, $this_line;
  }
}
