A few problems:
You mention a URL, and you create a UA object, but you never actually use the UA to retrieve any HTML from the URL.
Anyway, you don't need to use LWP::UserAgent directly because HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath supplies a new_from_url method.
You use HTML::Selector::XPath - this module is aimed at turning CSS-style selectors into XPath expressions, but you already have an XPath, so you don't need this module!
You're using @id and @href within double quotes - this will be interpreted as two Perl arrays! You want to single quote the XPath.
There shouldn't be a slash at the end of the XPath.
The following works:
use 5.010;
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath;
my $url = "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=run+flo+rida";
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new_from_url($url);
my $xpath = '(//*[@id="search-results"]/li)[1]/div[2]/h3/a/@href';
my @nodes = $tree->findnodes($xpath);
say $_->getValue for @nodes;
package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
