Initialize a found variable to 0/false before the loop that reads the
data from the swish process (this is not absolutely necessary for perl,
but it's good style).  In the loop, if you get by all the the lines
you're ignoring, set the found variable to 1/true.  After the loop is
done, if the found variable is still 0, you haven't found any results.
