TL;DR

cURL can fill out forms using the "-d" option.

Google, very sensibly from a web security point of view, have a hidden nonce field in their surveys that you'd need to parse out of a prior request in order to submit the form. That means you can't use 'pure' cURL. formfind might well work to grab the value you'd need to send though.

Pipe/heredoc to edbrowse will handle that, too.
