I find these two just to ugly. 
my $parser3 = HTML::TokePaser::Simple->new_from_scalar($string);

Is just superfluous since we have already my $p = HTML::TokePaser::Simple->new(\$string);. If you want that novice users do the right, just give a example in the docs. A perl programmer has to learn about references anyway.

BTW: If you remove the reference from the new method since it is to hard for new users to use that, you should consider to remove references at all from HTML::TokePaser::Simple. I look down to $p->get_token and think this is no option but who knows. And nearly the same goes for my $p = HTML::TokePaser::Simple->new_from_fqdn($fqdn); a example in the docs is enough. 
use LWP::Simple;
my $content = get 'http://www.perlmonks.org/';
die "Can't get content" unless defined $content;
HTML::TokePaser::Simple->new(\$content);

Or, add a hashref with lots of new options instead of more new like methods. 
HTML::TokePaser::Simple->new({ url => 'http://www.perlmonks.org/' });
HTML::TokePaser::Simple->new({ scalar => $content });
