My first observation was that your code works on my PC with
just two lines added:
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTML::Parse;
It does however, extract just one link from the page I selected,
which contained my mail address. Which is as much as what was to
be expected, since the URL I entered was not prepared for a
POST request, and the page contained an error message created
by the server which contains my mail address as the only link.
Which leads me to the simple suggestion:
replace
my $req = new HTTP::Request POST => $URL;
with
my $req = new HTTP::Request GET => $URL;
if you don't have anything to POST to.
