As many Monks will already have seen on [http://slashdot.org/articles/02/04/12/1128210.shtml?tid=156|Slashdot], Google has [http://www.google.com/apis/|released an API] to allow us to interface direcly with their (massive) engine using SOAP.
<p>
This is pretty gosh-darn cool!
<p>
[http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/weblog/view/wlg/1283|This article at O'Reilly.com] includes example Perl code, using Soap::Lite.
<p>
I'll be playing about with this myself, and I'd be interested to see what other Monks come up with. Perhaps we should have a friendly competition: who can produce the most interesting application of this API?
