When I run a simple program (perl) to search for google I get the following in the title and snippet fields: Title: <b>Google</b> snippet: <b>...</b> Advertise with Us - Business Solutions - Services &amp; Tools - Jobs,<br> Press, &amp; Help Ac2003 <b>Google</b> - Searching 3,307,998,701 web pages. The snippet is all on one line with no line breaks. Now I have no problem adding a function that will change the various > etc to > etc., but is this the expected output format? The APIs_Reference.html file says nothing about having to convert entities to "normal" characters, and more to the point none of the examples in Google Hacks shows such a conversion. I am running WinXP with a Cygwin environment, using the perl that comes with it: This is perl, v5.8.0 built for cygwin-multi-64int. I installed SOAP::Lite and its many prerequisites using perl -MCPAN -e 'install SOAP::Lite' which did not complain. The obvious place to ask is the google.public.web-apis newsgroup, but it seems to be a "questions without answers" newsgroup :( Any help would be much apprciated.
