Douglas,
Thanks. I have GoogleHacks on order from Amazon. Downloaded the API. I'll give it a shot.

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?
