doing an apt-cache search urlencode on a Debian system throws these up:
$ apt-cache search urlencode
libapache-request-perl - Generic Apache Request Library
libapache2-mod-apreq2 - generic Apache request library - Apache module
libapache2-request-perl - generic Apache request library - Perl modules
libapreq2 - generic Apache request library
libapreq2-dev - generic Apache request library - development files
libapreq2-doc - generic Apache request library - documentation
so maybe you can get it from apache
