Welcome AI Cowboy,
On the same page you mention ( http://search.cpan.org/~cjm/HTML-Tree-5.03/lib/HTML/Element.pm ), if you scroll to the top and search for $h, the first hit shows:
BASIC METHODS
new
$h = HTML::Element->new('tag', 'attrname' => 'value', ... );
This constructor method returns a new HTML::Element object. The tag name is a required argument; it will be forced to lowercase. Optionally, you can specify other initial attributes at object creation time.
What might not have been clear to you is that this was intended to set your expectations that all references to $h on that page were going to refer to an instantiated HTML::Element object.
As to your original request (recommend a module), I'll leave that to the Monks who dabble far more often in HTML manipulation than I do.
Good luck in the hunt!

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
