Split your page into several, then lets assume there is one page per letter of the alphabet. You can select all pages as separate tabs and change all references from present-url#A to pageA-url. Just an idea Moss Thank you Moss for the thought. Most any editor will do a global search and replace as will sed and perl itself but I'm hoping to find a tool that will automate that process rather than, as in the case you proposed, issuing 26 or more separate commands.

As far as automating the re-assigment of links: Use something like HTML::TokeParser::Simple - https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML::TokeParser::Simple Then you can replace http://www.photographers1.com/Sailing/NauticalTermsNomenclature.html#Knot with something like http://www.photographers1.com/Sailing/Encyclopedia/K.html/#Knot assuming you have all the entries starting with K split to K.html of course. The anchor tags e.g. A Name=KnotKnot/A won't need to be changed.

Not sure if there's anything ready made, but you can use an HTML parsing/manipulation module or framework. See: * http://perl-begin.org/uses/text-parsing/ * http://perl-begin.org/uses/web-automation/ (*Note*: perl-begin.org is a site I originated and maintain). And write some code using it. Before you do all that, it is a good idea to make sure the HTML markup validates so the parser will have an easier time: * http://perl-begin.org/tutorials/bad-elements/#generating_non_valid_markup See: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.photographers1.com%2FSailing%2FNauticalTerms%26Nomenclature.html Perhaps https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML::Tidy and https://github.com/petdance/tidyp will prove of utility.
