However, I am not sure how to apply a substitution, s///, to an element containing more that just text.
The documentation of HTML::Element's content_refs_list gives an example of how to modify text nodes contained in an element and the documentation of HTML::Element::traverse shows how to use a recursive function to walk the tree. Putting those together:
sub html_trim {
my $elem = shift;
for my $itemref ($elem->content_refs_list) {
if ( ref $$itemref )
{ html_trim($$itemref) } # remove this for non-recursive
else { $$itemref =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g }
}
}
for my $elem ($xhtml->findnodes('//div/ul/li')) {
html_trim($elem)
}

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).
