can anyone give me some help on a perl program to change a file of  mine. 
The string is:
 
$_ = "from ''alam' (481) or possibly  (in the sense of dumbness);  
solitary; Ulam, the (6155) name of two Soldiers;--Ulam."
 
Where each line is $_
I'm trying to substitute a hyperlink for each  NUMBER that is in 
parenthesis only, while not touching the words in parenthesis  or any other 
numbers.
For example, I want to change (481) in the line above  to 
(<href="mypage.php?481">481</a>) and (6155) to  
(<href="mypage.php?6155">6155</a>) and any 
others without changing  anything in (in the sense of dumbness).
 
Doing the same thing with each line in a file. Should I use a substitution? 
 Can anyone show me some code to accomplish this.  Thanks.
