Pulling text from list items using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox - perl

Question

Given the following HTML:
<div class="chosen-drop">
<ul class="chosen-results">
<li>Stuff 1</li>
<li>Stuff 2</li>
<li>Stuff 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
How do I pull the text from the list items using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox xpath function?
It seems like this should work, it's basically pulled from the documentation but it's coming up empty:
my #text = $mech->xpath('//div[#class="chosen-drop"]/ul/li/text()');
I must be missing something with the xpath.

With these files:
mech_xpath.pl:
#!perl -w
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize::Firefox;
use Data::Dump qw/dump/;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::Firefox->new();
$mech->get_local('local.html');
my #text = $mech->xpath('//div[#class="chosen-drop"]/ul/li/text()');
warn dump \#text;
<>;
local.html:
<div class="chosen-drop">
<ul class="chosen-results">
<li>Stuff 1</li>
<li>Stuff 2</li>
<li>Stuff 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
Gives this output:
[
bless({
# tied MozRepl::RemoteObject::TiedHash
}, "MozRepl::RemoteObject::Instance"),
bless({
# tied MozRepl::RemoteObject::TiedHash
}, "MozRepl::RemoteObject::Instance"),
bless({
# tied MozRepl::RemoteObject::TiedHash
}, "MozRepl::RemoteObject::Instance"),
]
So everything looks to be working. How are you checking the contents of #text?
