Hello fellow monks. I've having issues with the REST::Google::Search module. I'm trying to iterate throught the pages of google search results based on the query I enter and then determine on which page a specific site is located. It might be my lack of understanding of the cursor which seems to contain the next iteration of results I need to view. I've tried doing it manually but if you run the code you'll see my issue. It reports the website on page '0' when it actually is on page '4' I've posted my code below 
use warnings;
use strict;

use Data::Dumper;
use REST::Google::Search;

REST::Google::Search->http_referer('http://example.com');


SearchGoogle( 0 );

sub SearchGoogle {

    my $start = shift;

    #print "Looking from position: $start\n";

    my $res = REST::Google::Search->new(
                q => 'perl regex',
        start => $start,
        rsz => 'small',
    );

    if ( $res->responseStatus != 200 ) {
    SearchGoogle( $start );
    }

    my $data = $res->responseData;

    my $cursor = $data->cursor;
    my $pages = $cursor->pages;

    printf "current page index: %s\n", $cursor->currentPageIndex;

    my @results = $data->results;

    my $found = 0;
    
    foreach my $r (@results) {

    if ($r->url =~ /spaweditor.com/) {
        $found = 1;
        print "FOUND WEBSITE: on page " . $cursor->currentPageIndex . 
+"\n";
        exit;
    }
    }

    if ( !$found ) {
    $start += 4;
    SearchGoogle( $start );
    }
}

Can someone provide an example or point me in the right direction?

Thanks
