I'm using a slightly modified version of the TemplateDefault.pm module 
to do just this.  Under "use CGI;" add

use Storable;
my $db = './search.db';
unless (-e $db) {
  open DB, ">$db" or die $!;
  close DB;
}
my $ref;
if (-z $db) {$ref = {}} else {$ref = retrieve $db};
my $now = time;

Then, in the show_template sub (lines 15-25 or so):

     my $q = $results->CGI;
+   $ref->{$now}{query} = ${$q->{query}}[0];

    if ( $results->results ) {
+       $ref->{$now}{good}++;
         $output .=  results_header( $results );
         $output .=  show_result( $results, $_ ) for @{ 
$results->results };
     }

It returns a record of all queries, when they were made, and whether 
they returned a positive result or not.  I use a separate script to 
retrieve and mung the data from search.db.

HTH.
