I've recently encountered this problem and after a frustrating week of trying to find the 'lazy' way of integrating mnogosearch I think I've found a way.
I used the mnogo search template to construct a JSON response, rather than have it spit out content. This has two benefits, now it can be called in my perl code eg.
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://localhost/cgi-bin/search.c
+gi?q=a query' );
my $res = $ua->request($req);
my $json_results;
if ($res->is_success) {
$json_results = $json->decode($res->content);
}
else {
die $res->status_line, "\n";
}
but it can also be called from other places! It's essentially a web service.
Cheers,
Adam T.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
