I don't know how even start.

Rather than providing a full solution, I will give you an algorithm, and start you on the first step.

• Read your conversion file into a hash.
• Loop through your data file line-by-line.
• Split it into tokens.
• Match the ID to a key of the hash.
• Print it out in the format you desire.

use strict;
use warnings;

my %conv;
open my $fh, '<', 'conv.txt' or die "can not open conv.txt\n";
while (<$fh>) {
    chomp;
    my ($k, $v) = split;
    $conv{$k} = $v;
}
close $fh;

Try to understand that code, then ask questions if necessary. If you already know how to open files, then post the code you have so far, and post the actual output you are getting if it differs from your expected output.

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
