If you want to use the Google APIs via Perl, a search at CPAN wile lead you to Net-Google. However, this distribution seems not to be available for the Active State version of Perl last time I checked (March, 30th, 2004).
Read the rest of Net-Google with ActiveState Perl.
Just ignore it. Somehow the spelling suggestion of Google stopped to return 'new york city' as a suggestion for 'nu york city'.
This bug already been reported (not by me): Bug #11386 Spelling test case does not work
So just move on to the next step: nmake install
Success!
I seem to have installed ActiveState and Net::Google sucessfully. However, when I try to create a new Net::Google object, I get the following error:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/Google/Service.pm line 80. Service description 'file:' can't be loaded: 404 File `' does not exist
I took a look in the Services.pm file, it's kind of out of my league- I don't really know what it's doing or why it would fail. I was starting to think it just wouldn't work on windows until I found this site. Any suggestions?

With your guidance,I have downloaded the APIs,got the key and download the net-google module from CPAN,then I use the command "perl Makefile.pl" successful. But the next comes up against a problem as below:
The program exit. How to solve this problem?
