An admirable project, and interesting. The only suggestion that I could make is one I'm tackling right now... use XML::Parser. You may find that it helps you sort your results in a logical fashion. I was skeptical of XML early on, but I've become a believer over the past weekend. I had a young VBScripter show me some tricks with XML and MetaData design that I had not considered. Just something on which you may meditate.... ;-)
