# ... omitting rest of the stuff which happens to $li ...
This is actually the important bit. A DOM tree is a tree of objects, so in your call to $item->replace_with($new);, $new needs to be a tree of objects representing the HTML that you want to insert, not just a single text node. One would normally do this by directly manipulating the objects in the tree, or building a new subtree to replace the old one. But you haven't told us what manipulations you wish to do, so it's difficult to make a more specific recommendation. Your expected output is identical to your input except for whitespace changes (and the insertion of "HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath", which I am guessing might be a mistake), but because whitespace is insignificant in many places in HTML/XML, I can't tell what manipulations you might want to make here.

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).
