get_trimmed_text (like get_text) returns text as documented, not markup. Try sticking with get_tag .

    Changing to get_tag yields...

    Found Data: ARRAY(0x81e326c)

      Instead of this: 
      print "Found Data: $text\n";

      try this: 
      use Data::Dumper qw/Dumper/;

...
print Dumper( $text );

      As explained in the manual for HTML::TokeParser, the "get_tag" function returns a reference to an array, and Dumper is just an easy way to see what the array elements contain.
