There's probably a simpler way to do that but this will do what you ask: 

my $Parser = HTML::Parser->new(
    api_version  => 3,
    handlers     => [
        start => [\&start_handler, 'tagname,text'],
        text  => [\&text_handler, "text"],
        end   => [\&end_handler, "tagname,text"],
    ],
);
$Parser->parse($content);
$Parser->eof();
print $inner_body;

sub start_handler {
    my $tagname = shift;
    if ( $tagname eq 'body' ) {
        $in_body = 1;
        return;
    }
    return unless $in_body;
    my $text = shift;
    $inner_body .= $text;
}
sub text_handler {
    my $text = shift;
    return unless $in_body;
    $inner_body .= $text;
}
sub end_handler {
    my $tagname = shift;
    if ( $tagname eq 'body' ) {
        $in_body = 0;
        return;
    }
    return unless $in_body;
    my $text = shift;
    $inner_body .= $text;
}
