Thete's also Mozilla::Mechanize
(http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mozilla::Mechanize) that uses
Gtk2::MozEmbed. But as you have found out it's impossible to use the
Mozilla widget without having it added into a window.

You can also try Gtk2::WebKit
(http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Gtk2::WebKit) although I think that
the current wrapper is lacking the accessors for the DOM.
