Have a look at the example Perl script, contrib/ewswrap/htwrap.cgi,
which comes with the ht://Dig source distribution. It shows how to
pass a query string from a Perl program to htsearch. The key is to
set the right environment variables. You shouldn't need to make any
changes to htsearch's C++ code at all. Good luck.
