Not being a computer science of AI expert, I can't really add technical advice on how to approach this problem. But I think the solution we already have in place---an assembly of a bunch of Perl geeks with time to kill---works famously. I'm sure yours would be an interesting project, but based on my other experiences with similar types of search engines, it wouldn't be able to compete with trillions of neurons wired to think Perl.

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot";
$nysus = $PM . $MCF;

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
