    This should be enough to get you started.

    ### begin_: init perl
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Win32::OLE qw(EVENTS);

### begin_: test
    my $sURL = "http://www.perlmonks.org";  #site you want

    my $IEbrowser = Win32::OLE->new('InternetExplorer.Application') 
        or die "oops! $!";

    $IEbrowser->{left} = 0;
    $IEbrowser->{top} = 0;
    $IEbrowser->{height} = 725;
    $IEbrowser->{width} = 650;
    $IEbrowser->{menubar} = 0;
    $IEbrowser->{toolbar} = 0;
    $IEbrowser->{statusbar} = 1;
    $IEbrowser->{visible} = 1;
    $IEbrowser->navigate($sURL);     

### begin_: end perl
    1;
    __END__

    Not a perl solution, but you might want to check out internet macros.

    Trial download if I remember correctly, and lots of free scripts showing mechanizing of IE through windows scripting hosts script. Might give you some ideas :)
