LWP Help please

2009-05-17 Thread steve silvers


I have looked over the LWP documentation but still have trouble putting the 
pieces together. Can someone give me a snippet that shows me how to query 
google for something, and display the results. The examples only show how to 
match on something and just print that out. How do I display the results, or 
format the results?

Thanks in advance.

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
my $url = http://www.google.ca/search?q=perl+lwp+tutorial;;
my $response = $ua-get($url);
if($response-content_type ne text/html){
die(Recieved content-type .$response-content_type., was
looking for text/html.)
}
my $content = $response-content; # $content now holds the html page
from google.
print $content;

OR:

use LWP::Simple;

my $url = http://www.google.ca/search?q=perl+lwp+tutorial;;
my $content = get($url);
die Couldn't get $url. unless defined $content;
# $content now contains the html page from google.
print $content;
