How can I select from only one table with Web::Scraper?

Question

I want to extract the text only for heading Node Object Methods from a webpage. The specific HMTL part is as follows:

Node Object Properties

Web::Query provides an almost identical solution to the Mojo::DOM solution proposed by brian d foy.

use Web::Query;

my $html = do { local $/;  };

wq($html)
    ->find('table.reference:nth-of-type(2) > tr > td > a')
    ->each(sub {
        my ($i, $e) = @_;
        say $e->text();
    });

However it looks like Mojo::DOM is the more robust library. For Web::Query to correctly match with its selector I had to edit the input provided in the question to add a root node surrounding all the other content.
