DBD::google, a module that lets you search Google like a database source in DBI, was released a few days ago.
Still in its early stage of development, the disappointing thing is that the module does not use warnings :-( but on the bright side you can query the Internet in DBI style.
It's worth a try.

#!/usr/bin/perl
# Notice. No warnings. Sigh!
use strict;
use DBI;

my $query = "@ARGV" || "PerlMonks";

my $sql = qq{ SELECT title, URL FROM google WHERE q = "$query" };

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:google:", (glob "~/.googlekey"), undef,
{RaiseError=>1, lr=>['en'], oe=>'utf-8', ie=>'utf-8'});

for (@{$dbh->selectall_arrayref($sql)}) {
    print "Title ", $_->[0], "\n",
          "URL   ", $_->[1], "\n\n";
}
$dbh->disconnect();

The same author has released Tie::Google a module to use tied hashes to fetch Google queries.
Both modules are a front-end to Net::Google.
