I also tried this: 
use WWW::Mechanize();
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
my $html = $mech->get('http://umallvt.com/directory.php');
my @links=  $mech->find_all_links( text_regex => qr/a/i );

foreach(@links){
if($_->url() eq 'http://www.victoriassecret.com/'){
print "\n";
    print "url \n";
print $_->url(); 
print "\n";
    print " text\n";
    print $_->text();
    print "\n";
}

}
_END_

The out put is :

url: http://www.victoriassecret.com/

text: Victoria's Secret

In case the page had an anchor tag like below:

a href="http://www.victoriassecret.com/" target=_blank><img src=http://www.victoriassecret.com/nw.gif height=11 width=11 border=0 alt="Open this result in new window"> </anchor>

The above perl script would give :

url: http://www.victoriassecret.com/

text: Open this result in new window

But the desired result is:

url: http://www.victoriassecret.com/

text: IMAGE
