Here's a hack of the google.pl script that is included when you download the API developer's kit. It uses the GoogleSearch module. In this example, it writes to results.html but that's easy enough to change.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use GoogleSearch;

@ARGV > 0 or die "usage: $0 key [query] [max results]\n";
my ($key, $query, $max) = @ARGV;
# $key='000000000000000000000000';
my $google = GoogleSearch->new($key);
my $result = $google->doGoogleSearch(
query => $query || 'related:www.perlmonks.org',
maxResults => $max || 10,
)->result;
open(HTML, ">related.html");
print HTML qq(<a href="$_->{URL}">$_->{title}</a><br>\n)
for @{$result->{resultElements}};
close(HTML);
