You can remove dependence on CGI.pm by using

google () {
    url="http://www.google.com/search?q=`echo -n $* | \
      perl -pe 's/([^\w()\x27*~!.-])/sprintf "%%%02x", ord $1/eg'`";
    echo "Starting: $url"; cygstart -o "$url" >/dev/null
}

(oh and you'd want -MCGI not -mCGI if you want to use the module)
