There is no easy way yet, but this is mentioned in the TODO list as "The 
HTML::Parse module should make meta information (<HEAD>) easier
to access."

Currently you will have to traverse the syntax tree to find the tag you want.  
Call $h->traverse() and stop when you see the <title> element.

It might become:

  $h->title;
  $h->base
  $h->meta
  $h->nextid
  $h->isindex
