Greetings, esteemed monks!

I get this...esoteric? error: Can't bless non-reference value at C:/Perl64/site/lib/HTML/ElementTable.pm line 431. With the following code: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use Readonly;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
#use HTML::Element qw(Table);
#use HTML::TableExtract qw(tree);
use HTML::TableExtract;
use HTML::Encoding 'encoding_from_http_message';
use Encode;
use File::Slurp;

Readonly::Scalar my $url => 'http://www.emarketplace.state.pa.us/Searc
+h.aspx';

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( agent => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1;
+ WOW64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2' );

$mech->get($url);
#There is only one form on the page and they start at 1 in WWW:Mechani
+ze
my $form = $mech->form_number(1);

# 'wucSearch$btnSearch' is the NAME of the button we want to press; 'w
+ucSearch_btnSearch' is the id
# 'wucSearchResults$ddlRows' is the NAME of the input item we want to 
+set to 'ALL'

$mech->select('wucSearchResults$ddlRows','ALL');

my $response = $mech->click_button(name => 'wucSearch$btnSearch');

 if ($response->is_success) {
     #print $response->decoded_content;  # or whatever
 }
 else {
     die $response->status_line;
 }

my $HTML = $response->decoded_content;

#my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new(slice_columns=> 0, keep_html => 1);#
+, headers => ["Solicitation#"]);
my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new();
$te->parse($HTML);

I tried taking out the qw(tree) in the use HTML::TableExtract line.

I see one other node about a similar error: Net::Packet::Dump can't bless non-reference as 'IO::File' but I don't really see how this would apply to me.

Without further ado, how do I fix this? Thanks!

I like computer programming because it's like Legos for the mind.
