I am running into a weird problem moving from a plain perl script to
putting the code into a mason page when using Google's search API,
and need some ideas.
Every time I run the mason page I get $results being undef. When I
run the perl script it gives me the 10 results from the query (most
of the time, there is some probably with Google's api that makes it
not work every time).
I don't see any difference between my query to google from the perl
script and from the mason page, yet from the mason page it fails
every single time. Below is the perl script and the mason code.
The perl script looks like this:
-------------------------------perl
script-------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
# Location of the GoogleSearch WSDL file.
my $google_wdsl = "/pathtofolderwithwsdlfile/GoogleSearch.wsdl";
my $google_key='insertyourapikeyhere';
# Use the SOAP::Lite Perl module.
use SOAP::Lite;
# Take the query from the command line.
my $query = 'something';
# Create a new SOAP::Lite instance, feeding it GoogleSearch.wsdl.
my $google_search = SOAP::Lite->service("file:$google_wdsl");
# Query Google.
my $results;
$results = $google_search ->
doGoogleSearch(
$google_key, $query, 0, 10, "false", "", "false", "",
"latin1", "latin1"
);
# No results?
if ($results eq undef) {
print "No Go Buddy!\n";
}
exit unless $results;
@{$results->{resultElements}} or exit;
# Loop through the results.
foreach my $result (@{$results->{resultElements}}) {
# Print out the main bits of each result
print
join "\n",
$result->{URL},
$result->{snippet} || 'no snippet',
"\n";
}
-------------------------------end perl
script-------------------------------
-------------------------------mason page-------------------------------
<%args>
$url => 'http://www.somedomain.com'
$keyword => 'something'
</%args>
<%init>
my $google_key='insertyourapikeyhere';
my $google_wdsl = "/pathtofolderwithwsdlfile/GoogleSearch.wsdl";
use SOAP::Lite;
my $query = $keyword;
my $google_search = SOAP::Lite->service("file:$google_wdsl");
my $results;
$results = $google_search ->
doGoogleSearch(
$google_key, $keyword, 0, 10, "false", "", "false", "",
"latin1", "latin1"
);
if ($results eq undef) {
$m->print("No Go Buddy!");
}
exit unless $results;
@{$results->{resultElements}} or exit;
</%init>
% # Loop through the results.
% foreach my $result (@{$results->{resultElements}}) {
% my $url = $result->{URL};
% my $snippet = $result->{snippet} || 'None';
<li> <% $url %>
% }
-------------------------------end mason
page-------------------------------
