I've done a lot of web scraping with Mojolicious' Mojo::UserAgent: http://mojolicious.org/perldoc/Mojo/UserAgent as the example shows it's as simple as: use Mojo :: UserAgent ; my $ua = Mojo::UserAgent->new; say $ua->get( 'blogs.perl.org' )->res->dom->find( 'h2 > a' )->map( 'text' )->join( "\n" ); If you need to execute JS, then CasperJS looks good.
