Need help in my code

[Stormer]

my trying to parse google search page.. in which i am successful..

but the problem is i am taking the input from command line ...this way:

BEGIN {

$SRCH_URL = "http://google.com/search?q=@ARGV";
$OP_FILE = "srch.html";
$WGET_CMD = "wget '$SRCH_URL' -O $OP_FILE -U 'MSIE'";
}

this works fine with single word like "donation"....but for multi space word like"programming in perl "or "donation for a child" this script does not work..
kindly help
u can also mail me at [e-mail]
bye

You'll have to URL encode your string anyway, but for now try join()ing the string:

my $searchstring = join "+", @ARGV;

BTW, scraping Google's page is against their TOS. It's far easier to use something like WWW::Search::Google which uses the GoogleAPI, or roll your own.
