Or, if you need to do this during construction, consider subclassing HTML::TreeBuilder and selectively overriding methods.
That won't work if HTML::TreeBuilder has "hard coded" the name of HTML::Element, which I suspect it has.
As a hack, I'd just define methods in HTML::Element's space.
For long term, write the author of HTML::TreeBuilder and tell him
to make the subclass an overrideable constant:
package HTML::TreeBuilder;
sub element_class { return "HTML::Element"; }
...
sub make_sub_node {
...
my $ele = $self->element_class->new(...); #makes an HTML::Element pe
+rhaps
..
}
because then you can override that:
package My::TreeBuilder;
use base qw(HTML::TreeBuilder);
sub element_class { return "My::Element" };
package My::Element;
use base qw(HTML::Element);
sub my_additional_method { ... }
.

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).
