In PHP one can say $stream = fopen("someURL", "r") and use the typical "while not-end-of-file read and write a line" logic - I'm not sure how to do this in perl, but I'm sure it's in there somewhere.

An interesting variant would be to recognize links in the HTML delivered by the remote server, adding target="TopicName" to each link so that they'll show up in a new window associated with the topic.

That way, clicking on links within the text of the included page would spawn a new window rather than taking the user away from the TWiki in the current window. This is a great way to help people keep at least one browser window focused on the TWiki.
