It seems to me that someone who doesn't understand the error message could easily not realize the problem isn't with the usage of HTML::TreeBuilder.

If the current title is misleading, is there another that might be better?

Maybe "How I spent my summer vacation?"

Maybe the error message ie "Couldn't get http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/: 500 Can't connect to dailynews.yahoo.com:80 (Bad hostname)?"

Sure, its possible the OP doesn't understand the message ... but OP seems to have done fine for title in getting content of an https website and Using example script correctly for opening cpan module but not creating a useful browser from automation
