See the Wiki to answer most of your questions:

Here is an example that does the 3 things you were requesting:

sub EVENT_SAY {

	my $ClothCapLink = quest::varlink(1001);
	my $ClothCap = quest::saylink("Cloth Cap");

	if ($text =~ /Hail/i)
	{
		plugin::Whisper("Hello, $name!  Would you like to see a [$ClothCap] link?");
	}
	
	if ($text =~ /Cloth Cap/i)
	{
		plugin::Whisper("Here is your link - $ClothCapLink");
	}

}

That assumes that you have the Whisper plugin in your plugins folder. It will not work if you don't have that plugin.
