Re: automated search using perl

Don't do it. You will get yourself into trouble. Use the Google API.

See http://code.google.com/apis/Google API and the module WWW::Google::API on CPAN.

your first link is broken. I've taken a look at WWW::Google::API and I looked at the code , after a quick inspection I can say that it just provides authentication(I haven't tested) , I don't think it does anything other than that. I hope you can contradict me about this because I'd like to use the module if it provides what the OP asked for.	[reply]

This link works: Google Base API. I think the module can do more than just authentication (there exist several sub-classed modules that use it), but it is indeed rather "bare". If you need a "higher level" type of interface, have a look at DBD::Google. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls.
