You have to know your tools. HTML::LinkExtor was designed to only extract the links, not the text in between (whatever you call it, cdata or whatever).
Demo
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use HTML::LinkExtor;
my $base = 'http://perlmonks.org/';
my $stringy = q{
<tr><td><a HREF="/index.pl?node_id=188511">How does this code work (w
+arnings.pm)?</a></td> <td>by <a HREF="/index.pl?node_id=80322">John
+M. Dlugosz</a></td></tr>
<tr><td><a HREF="/index.pl?node_id=188509">Tk and X events</a></td> <
+td>by <a HREF="/index.pl?node_id=961">Anonymous Monk</a></td></tr>
<tr><td><a HREF="/index.pl?node_id=188507">warnings::warnif etc. wise
+ usage?</a></td> <td>by <a HREF="/index.pl?node_id=80322">John M. Dl
+ugosz</a></td></tr>
<tr><td><a HREF="/index.pl?node_id=188505">52-bit numbers as floating
+ point</a></td> <td>by <a HREF="/index.pl?node_id=80322">John M. Dlu
+gosz</a></td></tr>
};
my $p = new HTML::LinkExtor(undef, $base);
$p->parse($stringy);
print Dumper $p->links;
$p = new HTML::LinkExtor( sub { print Dumper($_) for @_; } , $base);
$p->parse($stringy);
And now for the nudge, HTML::TokeParser tutorial
update: suprise, suprise, I've solved this one before

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
