We can always make it on-topic:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use WWW::Search;
use LWP::Simple;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
use Mail::Send;
my $PAIN = 10;
my $luser = shift;
my $search = WWW::Search(<<insert favorite search agent>>)->new;
my $query = WWW::Search::escape_query("@ARGV");
$search->native_query($query);
while (my $res = $search->next_result()) {
my $html = get($res->url) or next;
my $msg = Mail::Send->new;
$msg->subject("Answer to your question");
$msg->to($luser);
my $fh = $msg->open;
print $fh "You could have gotten this yourself with <<favorite search
agent>>\n";
print $fh HTML::TreeBuilder->new->parse($html)->as_text;
close $fh;
last unless $PAIN--;
}
:-)
