[ILUG] Quick perl question

[ILUG] Quick perl question

Kevin Philp kevin at cybercolloids.net

Are there any perl guru's who can tell me why this short clip, which is 
largely from the reference docs, throws the following error on the line 
marked ===Not OK. If I take that line out it runs OK and prints the 
references from the website, so why can't I get the text?

Can't call method "get_trimmed_text" on unblessed reference 

my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $url = "http://www.cybercolloids.net/index.php";
my $response = $browser->get($url);
	die "Error at $url\n ", $response->status_line, "\n Aborting" unless 
$response->is_success;

my $stream = HTML::TokeParser->new(\$response->content) || die "Cannot open: 
$!";

while (my $token = $stream->get_tag("a")) {
            my $link = $token->[1]{href} || "-"; # ===OK
            my $text = $token->get_trimmed_text("/a") || "-"; #===Not OK
             print "$link\t\n";
         }
