Hello again, What I thought would be easy is truning out hard. I have read the perldoc for lwp, but I'm confused on several issues. I have the following code as a start: Is it possible to submit text and automate the search button from googles site? 
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'http://www.google.com/');
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content('match=?');

my $res = $ua->request($req);
print $res->as_string;

I guess I don't understand the matching criteria, and the idea of usinf POST to submit a form Thank You
