I would need two passes; first to identify any headers and possibly modiy them to add an id, and second to insert the generated TOC in the correct position (removing the old one).

HTML::Parser is pretty primitive, but looks like it's enough to spot the header tags easily enough. But what about modifying the HTML? It needs to print out everything it reads, with the same formatting.

I also looked at HTML::TreeBuilder, and it can't output the same format that it read but produces its own re-generation of the text.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
