Modern Mozilla browsers do not save the page source anymore; they serialize the DOM tree instead. If the information you seek is not in the page source, but does appear when saved, then it is being added to the page using JavaScript. You will need to use the Web Developer tools (Network tab) in Firefox to find the request that loads that data and figure out how to replicate that request and parse the response (probably JSON) in your Perl code.
Finding the request you need to make is the hard part. Making the request with LWP::UserAgent and parsing the response with JSON should be easy.

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).
