I'd like to thank everyone who offered their input for my problem, I got everything working. And no, this wasn't for a class, it was a "busy-work" assignment for work that got handed down, I wanted to use PERL to both save time, and learn something new.

Here is my completed code:

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

use File::Find;
use HTML::HeadParser;

my $parser = new HTML::HeadParser;

my @data;
my $path = '/base/path';

&main;

sub main
{
    find(\&html_files, $path);

    open OUT, "+>filelist.html" || die "Can not write file";
       print OUT 
           '<html><head><title>File List</title></head><body><center>'
+, "\n",
           '<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">', "\n";

        foreach my $file(sort @data)
        {            
            my $htmlPage = &fileRead("<$file");

            $parser->parse($htmlPage);
            my $pageTitle = $parser->header('Title');
            
            if ($pageTitle eq "")
            {
                $pageTitle = '&nbsp;';
            }
            
            print OUT '<tr><td>', "\L$file\E", '</td><td>', $pageTitle
+, '</td></tr>', "\n";
            
        }

        print OUT '</table></body></html>';
    close OUT;
}

sub html_files
{
    push @data, $File::Find::name if /\.s?html?$/;
    push @data, $File::Find::name if /\.s?HTML?$/;
    push @data, $File::Find::name if /\.s?htm?$/;
    push @data, $File::Find::name if /\.s?HTM?$/;
}

sub fileRead
{
   my ($file) = @_;
   my $dataIn = undef;

   open IN, $file || die "Can not open $file";
   while (<IN>)
   {
      my $temp = $_;
      $dataIn = $dataIn.$temp;
   }
   close IN;

   return $dataIn;
}
