HTML::ELEMENT not finding all elements - html

Question

I have this snippet of html:
<li class="result-row" data="2">
<p class="result-info">
<span class="icon icon-star" role="button">
<span class="screen-reader-text">favorite this post</span>
</span>
<time class="result-date" datetime="2018-12-04 09:21" title="Tue 04 Dec 09:21:50 AM">Dec 4</time>
Link Text
and this perl code (not production, so no quality comments are necessary)
my $root = $tree->elementify();
my #rows = $root->look_down('class', 'result-row');
my $item = $rows[0];
say $item->dump;
my $date = $item->look_down('class', 'result-date');
say $date;
my $title = $item->look_down('class', 'result-title hdrlnk');
All outputs are as I expected except $date isn't defined.
When I look at the $item->dump, it looks like the time element doesn't show up in the output. Here's a snippet of the output from $item->dump where I would expect to see a <time...> element. All it shows is the text from the time element.
<li class="result-row" data="2"> #0.1.9.3.2.0
<a class="result-image gallery empty" href="https://localhost/1.html"> #0.1.9.3.2.0.0
<p class="result-info"> #0.1.9.3.2.0.1
<span class="icon icon-star" role="button"> #0.1.9.3.2.0.1.0
" "
<span class="screen-reader-text"> #0.1.9.3.2.0.1.0.1
"favorite this post"
" "
" Dec 4 "
<a class="result-title hdrlnk" data="2" href="https://localhost/1.html"> #0.1.9.3.2.0.1
.2
"Link Text..."
" "
...
I've not used HTML::Element before. I rtfmed and didn't see any tag exclusions and I did a search of the package code for tags white/black lists (which wouldn't make sense, but neither does leaving out the time tag).
Does anyone know why the time element is not showing up in the dump and any search for it turns up nothing?
As an fyi, the rest of the code searches and finds elements without issue, it just appears to be the time tag that's missing.

HTML::TreeBuilder does not support HTML5 tags. Consider Mojo::DOM as an alternative that keeps up with the living HTML standard. I can't show how your whole code would look with Mojo::DOM since you've only shown a piece, but the Mojo::DOM equivalent of look_down is find (returns a Mojo::Collection arrayref) or at (returns the first element found or undef), both taking a CSS selector.
