How do you write a search engline to search offline scripts?
Question is not specific. Could you please elaborate more on this?
What exactly is intended to achieve?
I want to be able to search all html files stored in a local directory for a keyword passed as an argument and output the results to a html file with links to the original files
Sorry - It took a little longer to reply for the question.
If I understand the question properly, you can use supported modules from CPAN for searching through the web using Google in an automated way given a keyword ( the same way as we search ), store the links, scrape through the links and use it
