that's the print page.
By the way -- you can eliminate the wide-char warniung by telling perl
that your terminal can eat UTF-8 encoded unicode

Works here:

Hi all,
I'm making an attempt at my first screen scraping script.
For some reason the script doesn't continue after the invocation of the get
method on the last line:
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTML::TokeParser;
use Data::Dumper;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
Looks like plain text, so I don't know what you exactly mean by
"scraping"...
You mean download it?
cheers

Which modules could I use or any ideas how I can go about web scraping from
a webpage that is non-HTML in perl?
Thanks,
