would that just refresh the page over and over and over again and never actually display the page, is there actually a way to get the most up-to-date version of a file automatically as oppose to having a little button that reloads the page.

You can use meta-tags:
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1"><meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
But this alone will not always work, so you should pass no-cache headers. Not sure how to do it in Perl, but PHP its like this:
<?php
header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
header('Pragma: no-cache');
?>
