I have investigated WWW::Scripter and been in communication with that library's author, Father Chrysostomos. But this is proving a tough nut to crack. Let me give another example:

Slightly obfuscated and simplified source code: 
$ cat source.html
<html>
   <head></head>
   <body>
<script
src="http://bs.example.com/SmashingPumpkin/adServer.bs?cn=rsb&c=28&pli
+=8064559&PluID=0&w=336&h=280&ord=[RANDOM_NUMBER]&ucm=true"></script>
<noscript>
<a
href="http://bs.example.com/SmashingPumpkin/adServer.bs?cn=brd&FlightI
+D=8064559&Page=&PluID=0&Pos=1510952713"
target="_blank"><img
src="http://bs.example.com/SmashingPumpkin/adServer.bs?cn=bsr&FlightID
+=8064559&Page=&PluID=0&Pos=1510952713"
border=0 width=336 height=280></a>
</noscript>
   </body>
</html>

What I see in Safari Web Inspector (trimmed, obfuscated)

My object is to be able to pluck out either of the last two lines -- 'type' or 'data' -- you see above.

Using WWW::Scripter, I called: 

$scripter->use_plugin("JavaScript");
my $doc = $scripter->document();
say STDERR Dumper $doc;

[download]
The latter call resulted in 23,500+ lines in Data::Dumper output -- yet nowhere in there could I find the strings 'swf', 'shockwave' or 'flash'. So I couldn't be sure if the code was executing the script at all.

Suggestions?

Thank you very much.
