You don't have to hunt down and re-type the links when you use a Perl script to do it for you. :)

    But then you have to write and debug a Perl script :)

    (Have it treat programmatically constructed paths etc.)

      Programmatically constructed paths? You mean like templates? In that case, you shouldn't have much re-typing to do at all.

      It's a pretty simple script to rewrite URLs. It's even one of the class exercises in one of the Stonehenge courses. :)
