It then either creates a custom web page with the list of matches and fires up minimo for the user to select the result, or creates a contentlister entry for each result.

That doesn't sound very complicated - we write our entire website in Perl, handling hundreds of Gb of data and millions of hits a week
Mind you, I just hosed my iLiad trying to get the developer package installed, so it'll be a while before I can test Perl scripts on there! If it's a case of taking input and creating simple text-based files from the search results, that's the easy-peasy bit - but how is the search part supposed to work? Grepping the wikipedia file(s), or something more complicated?
