I've tried it with HTML::TokeParser::Simple, which is built on top of
HTML::Parser, and it comes out well:

$html = << '--';
<DT><A HREF="http://www.google.com"; ADD_DATE="1101144594"
ID="rdf:#$.GjDP">Google (search engine)</A>
--
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
my $p = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new( \$html );

while ( my $token = $p->get_token ) {
print $token->as_is;
}

This prints:

<DT>
<A HREF="http://www.google.com"; ADD_DATE="1101144594"
ID="rdf:#$.GjDP">
Google (search engine)
</A>

My guess is that you only get part of the text, and you have to be
patient, because there is no garantee at all that all of the text will
come out in one chunk. So probably next time the text handler gets
called, the rest will come out... at least, part of it.
