Personally I'd do something like this:

use URI::QueryParam;
use Web::Magic 0.008;
use XML::LibXML 1.94;

Web::Magic
  -> new('http://www.google.co.uk/search', q => 'kittens')
  -> assert_success
  -> assert_content_type('text/html')
  -> make_absolute_urls
  -> findnodes('//*[@class="r"]/*[local-name()="a"]')
  -> foreach(sub{
       my $google_munged_url = URI->new($_->{href});
       my $fixed_url = $google_munged_url->query_param('sa') eq 'U'
         ? $google_munged_url->query_param('q')
         : $google_munged_url;
       printf "%s <%s>\n", $_->textContent, $fixed_url;
     });

Obviously you need to make sure that whatever scraping you're doing is allowed by the search engine's terms of service.
