repson's answer got me to a working script.   8^)   Now I'm looking to sort the links alphanumericly on the generated page.

I've tinkered with Tie::IxHash, and perused perlfunc:sort.   Suggestions for a good approach, before I start some ugly kludge?

Update: tieing the hash seems to do the trick.   Rather than alphanumeric sort, it simply retains the insertion order.   8^)
