My perl-incantation wizard friend (I consider myself mere journeyman) uses usually convoluted 'map' constructs to do things like this. It is amazing high-power way to make things -- and often helps you to make "write only" script.
Wrapping converter regular expressions into map {} structure gives something like: @summary = map { s/torvalds\@.*transmeta.com/Linus Torvalds/, s/alan\@.*swansea.linux.org.uk/Alan Cox/, ... etc ... 1 } @summary; See "man perlfunc" and look for " map ".
