I really don’t like perl at this point in time. If anyone can explain why attempting to use the Google search webservice from within MT would return an error saying the file protocol is not understood, I’d love to hear about it. All the required modules for MT are properly installed as per their instructions and it’s still a no-go, despite the fact that it’s up and running fine on my internal server. Sigh, hopefully using CPAN to reinstall the modules in the default locations might help instead of having to install them in MT’s extlib directory by hand.
