use warnings;

use HTML::TreeBuilder;

my $html = do{local $/;<DATA>};

for my $p ($r->look_down(_tag => q{p})){
  $p->replace_with(

      q{div}, 
      {class => q{link}}, 
      $p
    ]
  )->delete;
}
my @divs = $r->look_down(_tag => q{div});
my $body = $r->look_down(_tag => q{body});
$body->replace_with(
  [
    q{body}, 
      [
        q{div}, 
        {id => q{links}}, 
        @divs

print $r->as_HTML(undef, q{ }, {p => 0});
