I'm just wondering if that module can handle colspan and rowspan cells well... I'm not saying that I think it's a bad module if it can not. Rather will I think it is pretty good if it can.




"2b"||!"2b";$$_="the question"
Besides that, my code is untested unless stated otherwise.
One more: please review the article about regular expressions (do's and don'ts) I'm working on.

    Just to resolve doubts, HTML::TableExtract does handle columnspan/rowspan correctly. Quoting the POD:

    Furthermore, TableExtract will automatically compensate for cell span issues so that columns are really the same columns as you would visually see in a browser.
