Regarding this reader comment,

Page 106 in Web Client Programming with perl shows a Module with a
list of classes that are drasticly different than what I'm able to
download from the Internet and as a result, most of the examples in
the book don't work.

please note:

HTML::Parse (the module that the book uses
and isn't clear how to download)

is at:

http://www.perl.com/modules/by-module/HTML/HTML-Tree-0.51.tar.gz

After that, all the examples should work.
