search.pl - a web-searching application demonstrating WWW::Search
This program is provides a command-line interface to web search engines, listing all URLs found for a given query. This program also provides a simple demonstration of the WWW::Search Perl library for web searches.
Currently the program does searches on AltaVista http://www.altavista.digital.com. We plan to expand WWW::Search to support other search engines in late 1996.
We plan to provide more sophisticated services using WWW::Search. One service is an periodic service where we automatically search the web for relevant documents. A prototype of this system (not yet using WWW::Search) is available at http://www.isi.edu/lsam/tools/index.html with sample output at http://www.isi.edu/div7/ib/jog/index.html.
For the library, see WWW::Search.
To install WWW::Search, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.

cpanm WWW::Search
CPAN shell
