No.  Why do you want that?

It is trivial to reimplement a version of get_text that does what you
want based get_token().  You even have the old get_text that you can
use as a starting point and just insert your version into the
HTML::TokeParser namespace.

   sub HTML::TokeParser::get_undecoded_text {
       ...
   }

get_token always returns the raw undecoded text.  There isn't an
option to make it do otherwise.
