TIP

You'll need to have the Algorithm::Permute Perl module for this program to work correctly (http://search.cpan.org/search?query=algorithm%3A%3Apermute&mode=all).

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# order_matters.cgi
# Queries Google for every possible permutation of up to 4 query keywords,
# returning result counts by permutation and top results across permutations.

my $google_key='insert key here';
