Edward,
I found an alternative.
If you not already downloaded you Google API, do so
If you have the GoogleHack book from O'Reily get Hack #50: Programming the Goolge Web
API with Perl. This is also available at the books site. Here are the first couple of
lines of code.
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# googly.pl
# A typical Google Web API Perl script
# Usage: perl googly.pl <query>
# Your Google API developer's key
my $google_key='Put in you Google API';
Here is how I ran the query at command prompt. with "learning perl" as my search
string.
I have the script 50.pl in the C drive with my other Perl scripts
This assumes that you have SOAP LITE and the other goodies that installed with you API
C:\Perl>\perl 50.pl "learning perl"
It worked for me.
Cheers
Doug

Greetings All,
I am trying to download the GoogleSearch module for Perl from ASPN
C:\Perl\eg>ppm install GoogleSearch returns
Error: PPD for 'GoogleSearch.ppd' could not be found.
I am following the directions on
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/WebServices/Google
Any ideas?
