Sure, lots of people can help you do this. But we're not going to write it for you. Post what you've written, and where you're getting stuck, and we'll be glad to help.

Otherwise, there are many tutorials you can find on Google, to help get you going.

Heres a hint:
Use wget to download it and use Curses library to show it.

Look for Gtk2::Html2 module at CPAN.

At least narrow the scope of the problem. Is this an exercise in downloading an HTML file, downloading an HTML page (inline graphics, etc), or is it an exercise in rendering an arbitrary page, or all of the above, or something else altogether? Just trying to do the first step of analyzing and breaking down the problem. And can you expand on the meanings of 'normal HTML page', and 'view'? To many, just echoing the HTML to standard out is viewing. To many others, rendering the page according to the markup content would be considered as viewing.
