One way is to instruct the browser to save things like the one you're 
getting as a file. Then Perl can go look in the download folder and 
read the file. I'm using that technique to get some log files on a 
remote server. If you're getting an HTML file, you don't want to have 
your browser saving them as files, but you can still ask it to do it 
for the duration of this. Maybe you can even set and re-set in using 
an Apple Event.

Just my $0.02.
