If the indices you wish to search are all available to use as web pages, then use LWP::UserAgent, build a user agent, and download all the pages in your list. Then using something like HTML::TokeParse to grab all the <a href> elements (and any other interesting bits of the pages), build a hash containing of all the things you want to search on (perhaps using lists of these things as the values).

If the source pages are fairly constant, then run this separately from your search function and use Data::Dumper to save the hash to disk. Otherwise proceed immediately to...

For searching the elements of the hash, use a function like grep to quickly isolate a list of keys.

Using CGI present the information in a web page replete with hyperlinks and additional info by iterating over the list from the previous step.

Have fun and think of other ways to do it.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
