1)  Do we ever have blah.html#foo ?  I thought that the first anchor
was always foo.html#foo   (possibly with some weirdness if there's a
space, parenthesis, or whatever in the node name)

2)  If not, a dictionary would work:
   if (%filenames[anchor_name] == 1) {
      link .= '#' + anchor_name;
   } else {
      %filenames[anchor_name] = 1;
   }

that's probably not proper perl syntax, but the basic idea should be
solid.  %filenames is a global variable, of course.
(is % the symbol for dictionary?)
