a quranic aim bot

so i was a little bit bored today, and i wanted to write a simple quranic aim bot just for fun… so i took a look at Net::Oscar off cpan and at a sample bot, wrote a sample alpha api to allow searching over quranic realm, and the result:

(02:06:20) ahmed: 3:1

(02:06:21) chisaikaruma: match: ayah=“1” Transliteration: Alif-lam-meem Sahih International: Alif, Lam, Meem.

i am not quite sure as to whether or not i can send utf8 strings over this or not… i couldn’t get arabic results to work from the tiny bit i tried. it still needs some work, but its just a for-fun prototype/proof of concept. i think the greatest benefit was being able to put together an alpha version of an quranic realm api for future use.
