I wanted to have fun with the google API, so I combined it with a genetic algorithm. It evolves search terms. The fitness function uses the parts of the answers that is returned by the google search server as parameters.
I've ran out of idea as to what to do with it. If someone thinks of something, all the code is
here. Or let me know.
The top level file is GoogleEvolver.pl. It could be adapted to do something else very easily just by changing parameters in the fitness function (the function that evaluates individuals). All the rest (selection, sexual reproduction, mutation, population control) is implemented.

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).
