[Bioperl-l] Automated Medline searches

Hi!

Just a crazy idea: is it possible to generate an HTML file in Perl with 
links to search keywords in Medline? For example, let's suppose I want to 
search the keyword "aging". If I wanted an HTML file to search "aging" in, 
say, Google, I would put the following piece of code:

<a 
href="http://www.google.be/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=aging&meta=">Clicking 
here would make me search "aging"</a>

My question is if there is a similar way of doing this to search Medline? 
Or any other way of getting a browser to pop up searching one or more 
keywords in Medline.

All the best.
