#!/user/bin/perl -w

BEGIN {
    $|=1;
    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
    use CGI::Carp('fatalsToBrowser');
}


use Fcntl;

# find the keyword in gutenberg.txt
#@gut_results;
@gutenbergr = (1..56522);
array_shuffle (\@gutenbergr);

$filename = 'gutenberg.txt';
open (GUT, "< /home/sid/kwicionary/$filename") or die "Can't open $fil
+ename for reading: $!";

build_index(*GUT, *IDX) if -z $indexname;

$key = $FORM{'search'};
