Search engine in PERL

I need a search engine developed in PERL. Is there any open-source software written in PERL? It will not search the whole internet but a specified web-site owned by me.

 

Here's a simple file system based search engine in perl:

Thanks John. This will help me a lot. Actually, I need a database based text search engine.

 

Text database?

I wouldn't even go there! It will be extremely slow.

If your grabbing content from another website you may be best off using a mixture of MySQL, Perl/PHP and a package called CURL.

CURL allows secure remote connections which can be useful for connecting to websites like Ebay or Amazon.

Store the information in a MySQL database, nearly all web hosts these days will support this technology.

I am building a classified ad posting site using perl and mysql. The ads will be stored in a mysql database. I want to develop a search engine to search the ads posted. I don't need to search the web at all. I want to make the script as fast as possible.
