This error seems to be occuring when we Parse the web page. The code from where we are getting the error is mentioned below : 
my $html_local    = HTML::TagParser->new($local_content);
my $ele = $html_local->getElementsByTagName("title");    # get element
+ by title tag

The $local_content is the entire content of the web page which we are crawling.
