Cool script :)  Too bad it won't work on windows :(

It is reading the raw response from the HTTP socket into a string an extracting the <xhtml><tt> tag (same as I did) -
the spaces are being removed at the source, AFAICT.  (Although I don't know the Perl HTML package at all - perhaps your
&nbsp; idea would work.  I'd try it, but it won't work on any system I have).
