If you switch to HTML::TokeParser::Simple, I think you'll be happy with how much clearer the logic is.
use strict;
use HTML::TokeParser::Simple;
use LWP::Simple;
use URI;
my $url = 'http://www.reuters.com/newsEarlierArticles.jhtml?type=busin
+essNews';
my $stream = HTML::TokeParser::Simple->new(\get($url))
|| die "Couldn't read $url: $!";
while(my $token = $stream->get_token) {
next unless
$token->is_start_tag('td')
and
($token->return_attr('class') || '') eq 'earlyHeadline';
my $next = $stream->get_token;
if ($next->is_start_tag('a')) {
print URI->new_abs($next->return_attr('href'), $url), "\n";
}
}

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
