Not enough manual reading/understanding 

$ perl -MHTML::Tree -e " print HTML::Tree->new_from_content(q{<header>
+<article>})->as_HTML"
<html><head></head><body></body></html>

$ perl -MHTML::Tree -le " print HTML::Tree->new(qw{ ignore_unknown 0 }
+)->parse_content(q{<header><article>})->as_HTML"
<html><head></head><body></body><header><article></article></header></
+html>

$ perl -MHTML::HTML5::Parser -le " print HTML::HTML5::Parser->load_htm
+l( string => \q{<header><article>}) "

    Erm. Yes. I still don't get it. Anyone can explain that code further?

      <header> and <article> are not HTML tags. HTML::TreeBuilder seems to ignore tags that are not HTML tags. So I would guess that HTML::TreeBuilder is the wrong tool to process things that are not HTML.

      The rest of the post of Anonymous Monk shows you an alternative approach using XML::LibXML. Maybe you should pursue that one.
