Yes,
dump() is a method of the HTML::Element module, which is required by HTML::TreeBuilder.
I quote from CPAN:

$h->dump()
$h->dump(*FH) ; # or *FH{IO} or $fh_obj
Prints the element and all its children to STDOUT (or to a specified filehandle), in a format useful only for debugging. The structure of the document is shown by indentation (no end tags).

This is a sample of what the output of tree-> dump looks like:
<html> @0
  <head> @0.0
    <title> @0.0.0
      <~text text="WO trail BARCELON/GAR - GERONA/CAR - 30N - 1"> @0.0

In my code, this is what's written to an output file, and what I would rather have assigned to an array instead.
