in reply to Perl, HTML::TableExtract

Instead of choosing the table by header, try to chose by attrib:

# headers =>[qw(RefSNP)]); attribs => { id => "RefSNP" } );

For me this worked, when applying it to the source of

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=rs111

The output still contains a lot of HTML.
