Most likely whatever browser you use to "save the HTML" reformats the data it receives. Go look at what data exactly Web::Scraper sees, maybe using curl or wget or LWP::Simple::get, and work from that instead of data that was changed by the browser. Also learn the difference between "HTML" and "CGI", and learn why it does not apply. It seems to me that by "HTML" you mean "data retrieved from locally saved files", and by "CGI" you mean "data retrieved online over HTTP". You should change the terms you use appropriately.

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).
