completely off topic....

i'd keep the dispatch essentially the  same, but change the regex to  
something more like this:

	my %despatch = (
	  'yahoo' => sub { print "\n Yahoo! $_[0]\n"; },
	  'google' => sub { print "\n Google! $_[0]\n"; },
	 );

	sub dispatcher
	{
		my	( $string )= @_;
		my @parts= $string =~ qr/^(?:http:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(google|yahoo|msn) 
\.com(?:\/\?q=([^&]*))?/i;
		if ( scalar @parts ) {
			my	( $domain , $q )= @parts;
			$despatch{lc($domain)}->($q);
		}
	}

	dispatcher( 'google.com' );
	dispatcher( 'google.com/?q=test' );


still very dirtry -- i prefer putting refs in the  dispatch, or class  
method names.
but that shows you a quick way to catch the q var and pass it to your  
function using Andy's example :)
