Presuming your link file is small, it should be relatively easy to load it all into a hash.

Let's say the link file format was something like: {phrase}=={link}

(I use == as there may be whitespace in the phrase)

Load code would be something, like:

while(<LINKFILE>) {

        chomp;

        ($key,$data) = split("==");
        $links{$key} = $data;
}

Once that is loaded in, you should be able to replace the links in the file. As this is web files, I imagine that loading the whole thing in is not an issue.

$content = join("",<FILE>); # this is better replaced with arturos met
+hod
                            # of reading in whole file

foreach $k (keys %links) {

        $content =~ s/$k/$links{$k}/gm;
}
[download]

$content will now be left with all the links in it.
