I used to be a user of HTML::LinkExtor (I've never personally used HTML::LinkExtractor), but I've recently found HTML::SimpleLinkExtor, which works beautifully, and in less code. If you have to install a CPAN module, why not use one that gets your job done faster and easier!

Obligatory code (from one of my production projects): 

sub extract_links {
        my $content = shift;

        my $extor = HTML::SimpleLinkExtor->new();
        $extor->parse($content);

        my %seen;
        my @hrefs       = grep { !$seen{$_}++} $extor->a;
        my @imgs        = grep { !$seen{$_}++} $extor->img;
        my @fragments   = grep {/#/} @hrefs;
        my @frag        = map make_canon($_), @fragments;

        # Other magical stuff under here to turn relative
        # links from @imgs and @hrefs into absolute, using
        # the URI module, and some other hocus pocus.
