^^^^^^
That's the interesting part. How do you render a web-page into a
pixmap? Subsampling is trivial.

I saw the question discussed recently. I can't remember whether here
or at PerlMonks. (Most probably, tertium non datur.) Off the top of my
memory, and probably in a sloppy way, options include (i) use a
rendering engine like gecko, or (ii) launch a browser and take a
screenshot. IIRC both actions can be automated in perl.
