You don't show us how you populate $filename.

Maybe the file does not exist, or $filename has whitespace at the end. When I try a mock program without an existing file, I get a very similar output:

#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::LibXML;
use HTML::HTML5::Parser;

my $p = HTML::HTML5::Parser->new();
my $doc = $p->parse_file('file:///this/doesnotexist.html',
        { ignore_http_response_code => 1, },
    );
print $doc->toString;

Output:

Use of uninitialized value $c_type in pattern match (m//) at /home/cor
+ion/perl5/lib/perl5/HTML/HTML5/Parser.pm line 59.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head/><body/></html>

If you can show us a short and self-contained example (SSCCE), then that would remove a lot of guesswork and maybe helps us find the root of the problem better.

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.
