I have a search engine which is working fine but I want to add a couple of features to it such as a title to a search which has found a match. A heading something like here are your Search Results. I would also like to number the results and keep the number of matches to 10 on a page.

I would be very grateful if some one could help me!!!

Here is the code 

#!/usr/bin/perl

require "get_form_data.pl";
&get_form_data();

$search_term = $FORM{'search'};

my @match;

opendir(DIR, ".");
while($file = readdir(DIR))
{
    next if($file !~ /.html/);
    open(FILE, $file);
    $found_match = 0;
    $title = "";
    while(<FILE>)
    {
        if(/$search_term/i)
        {
            $found_match = 1;
        }
        if((/<TITLE>/) || ($found_title))
        {
            if((/<\/TITLE>/) && (/<TITLE>/))            {
                chop;
                $title = $_;
                $title =~ s/<TITLE>//g;
                $title =~ s/<\/TITLE>//g;
            }
            else
            {
                if($found_title == 1)
                {
                    $title = $_;
                    $found_title = 2
                }
                elsif($found_title == 2)
                {
                    $found_title = 0;
                }
                else
                {
                    $found_title = 1;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    if($found_match)
    {

        push @match, qq
   (
        <HTML>\n<BODY BGCOLOR=\"#000099\"link=\"#FFFF00\">\n
        <font face=\"Verdana\"><A HREF="$file">$title</A></font><p>\n
        
        );


    }
    
    close(FILE);
}

closedir(DIR);

# now output
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
if (@match) {
  for (@match) {
    print;
  }
}
else {
  print "<HTML>\n<BODY BGCOLOR=\"#000099\"TEXT=\"#FFFFFF\">\n";
  print "<H3>\n";
  print "<font face=\"Verdana\">Sorry!!!</font>\n";
  print "</H3>\n";
  print "<font face=\"Verdana\">Sorry, we were unable to match your qu
+ery<p>Please use the <STRONG>FEEDBACK</STRONG> button</font>\n";
  print "<font face=\"Verdana\">to go to the form and let us know what
+ you are looking for.</font>\n\n";
}

exit;
