I am trying to find a way to get the first table header on the below HTML code. If I use look_down and search for td and HeaderTitle, it will also get the second table. Any suggestion? Expected output:

$VAR1 = [
          'Status',
          'Results',
          'Schedule Start',
          'Actual Start',
          'Schedule Name',
          'Node Name',
          'Domain Name',
        ];

Current output:

$VAR1 = [
          'á',
          'Status',
          'Results',
          'Schedule Start',
          'Actual Start',
          'Schedule Name',
          'Node Name',
          'Domain Name',
          'á',
          'Node Name',
          'Node Version',
          'OS Platform',
          'OS Version',
          'Activity',
          'Bytes Transferred'
        ];

Code:

use HTML::TreeBuilder;
use Data::Dumper;
use 5.16.0;

my $h = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
$h->parse_content( do{ local $/; <DATA> } );

my @headers = 
    map @{ $_->content },
    ($h->look_down
        ( 
        _tag => 'td', class => qr/HeaderTitle\b?/ ,
        )
    )
;

print Dumper \@headers;
