in thread automated search using perl

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.

    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.
