I want to search a text file which has xml content of top 10 results returned by google. each result has the folllowing information. <url><tilte><snippet> wat i want to do is in a perl program get the same query which i given to search in google and compare that query with all 10 result "title". The one title that matches exactly should be move to top along with its associated infor. the next matching in 2nd position. Like that i want to compare the query string and sort the text file.

for eg. the file will look some thing like this. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resultslist>
<results>
<result>
<url>http://www.google.com/research/pubs/archive/32686.pdf</url>
