Greetings, fellas.

I'm trying to write a Win32 Multiple Search script using WWW::Search.

So I guess I'd do it like this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
require WWW::Search;

while ($term = <>)
{
    chomp $term;
    
    @se = ('AltaVista, Excite, Infoseek, Lycos');

    foreach $se (@se)
    {
        $search = new WWW::Search('$se');
        $search->native_query(WWW::Search::escape_query($term));
        
        print "\n\nResults from $se :\n\n";
        while ($result = $search->next_result())
        {
            print $result->url, "\n";
        }
    }
}

Well the problem here - as the experienced brothers probably already seen - it's that $se is not parsed, so it trys to run literally $search = new WWW::Search('$se'), instead of $search = new WWW::Search('AltaVista'), for an example.

If I try it with double quotes or no quotes at all I still receive an error.

How can I solve this? I guess it's pretty simple, but I'm stucked. My best guesses would be using eval or q// but I couldn't make it work with these solutions either.

TIA,

my ($author_nickname, $author_email) = ("DaWolf","erabbott\@terra.com.br") if ($author_name eq "Er Galvão Abbott");
