Sorry, if I do not get you right, but... can't your script provide a link list like this:

<ul>
    <li>Item 1234</li>
    <li>Item 1235</li>
    <li>Item 1236</li>
    <li>Item 1237</li>
</ul>

This is what Wiggins meant when writing "modify your original results page" (as far as I understand him). It has nothing to do with the database nor with Perl. But it works, opening a new window when the user clicks on a link.
