This question is asked often, in various ways. I'm not familiar with
XML::Smart, but extracting mixed content can be done with XML::Twig or
XML::LibXML. Here's some working XML::LibXML code:

use XML::LibXML;
my $dom = XML::LibXML->new->parse_string(qq(
<entry>
  <title>Foo</title>
  <text>The text <strong>here</strong> is bold</text>
</entry>
));

#The following prints "The text <strong>here</strong> is bold"
foreach $textNode ($dom->findnodes('//entry/text/node()')) {
        print $textNode->toString();
}
