You might want to use Gtk2::WebKit ..... see Perl Web Browser using Gtk2 and WebKit for simple code It displays flash just as a browser would. It's onl;y hitch right now, is that if you are on a 64bit computer, you need the 32-bit emulation libaries, because the current Flash plugin is only 32 bit.( last time I checked, although there is a beta 64 bit)
