I've figured out a few things: This code: 
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;

my $sh = Win32::OLE->new('Shell.Application');
print "Count is $sh->{Windows}->{Count}\n";
for (my $i = 0; $i < $sh->{Windows}->{Count}; $i++) {
    my $win = $sh->{Windows}->Item($i);
    print "InnerHTML '$win->{Document}->{body}->{innerHTML}'\n";
    print "OuterHTML '$win->{Document}->{body}->{outerHTML}'\n";
    print "InnerText '$win->{Document}->{body}->{InnerText}'\n";
    print "OuterText '$win->{Document}->{body}->{outerText}'\n";
}

will pull quite a bit of HTML. Unfortunately the Text I want isn't enclosed in the <body> tag, so it misses what I want. I tried this: 
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;

my $sh = Win32::OLE->new('Shell.Application');
print "Count is $sh->{Windows}->{Count}\n";
for (my $i = 0; $i < $sh->{Windows}->{Count}; $i++) {
    my $win = $sh->{Windows}->Item($i);
    my @list = Win32::OLE::Enum->All($win->Document->all);
    print "My Enum ";
    print "@list";

}

Hoping that I could enumerate the ALL collection, but it just gets me more Win32::OLE hashes, that I don't know what to do with. I had hoped each one would be a reference to an element on the page, and I could reconstruct the page source from it, but once again I've hit a wall...
