I am not sure exactly what you mean... but, this phrase:

So if I just download this page and view the source, I only see calls to these perl scripts that create this page.

leads me to belive that you are maybe getting/viewing the source of a frameset. Does it look something at all like: 

<frameset>
  <frame src="script.pl" />
  <frame src="script2.pl />
</frameset>

[download]
There might be other stuff in the tags, and it may look different, but something like that?

If so, first have a look at a page like this one to get a basic notion of what a frameset is (real short story: it is a "page" that embeds other pages in a "grid").

Then what you can do, is save this page to disk, then go to each of the URLs (src="this part") and save those in the same directory. Then you should be able to view the page offline, locally.

To do the same with perl, which I assume is the final goal of this question, I'd look into LWP::Simple for fetching, and HTML::Parser or HTML::TokeParser to get the URLs from the initial frameset.

Note that this is only a guess. Please clarify further if possible... also note that you will not be able to use any scripts locally, you can just get the results from one particular run of the script.

You have moved into a dark place.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
