Yes (just in case anyone tries it) it is untested... and unfortunately has some bugs. Apart from the syntax errors that are quickly fixed (eg should be 'push @x , $_' not the other order used, there's one HUGE problem.
The WHILE statement, as written, will continue to download from the web page forever ! There's no end condition since the $http->body() grabs the whole page over and over.
So I think this is a good starting point.... but you then need take the 'html' returned by $http->body() and use an html parser to get the bits you want.
Sorry but I don't have the code for this at present. If I get something working I'll post it. But I thought it wise to warn the unwary.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
