If I understand you correctly, you don't need Perl to do that. You can just 
set up a Google site search box using plain HTML:

Or alternatively for Yahoo:

http://search.yahoo.com/info/ysearchbox_introduction.html (though the markup 
there needs massaging to be updated to modern standards).

There are other boxes for different web-searches.
