I guess I'm after a mini-PRex, which would embed a mini (text-only) browser into Perl

Or you could make one yourself. Should only take a loooooooooong time, and we all have time, right?

It is important to note how EASY it is to actually write a mozilla based app. Please see the open licensed Rapid Application Development with Mozilla Book. You might find that Perl is not needed at this stage, but simply throwing together some mozilla components to do what you want.

I would like it (ELinks) to run in Win32.

Is cygwin out of the question? It may compile there. If so, then how about this:

I know that Visual Basic is a curse word(s), but I believe in using the best tool for the job, so you could easily embed an (ie) browser in a vb app that could do what you need easily (as far as rendering/saving). It is fairly easy to use and fairly well documented.
