Re^4: Problem extracting an HTML table with Perl

I had missed that of the find. I now found that I chose the wrong tag given that I wanted the list that shows after this tag, but I'll get to that later.

Indeed I now see that I cannot dd $data as it dumps everything - the print $data->as_HTML solves the problem. One more question: in your second example, how did you print the data?

Thanks so much!

For the list context call, I actually only output `print 0+ @data;` [download] to tell me the length of the array. If I wanted to print both terms, I'd either use a map and a join `print join "\n", map $_->as_HTML, @data;` [download] or just use Foreach Loops: `for my $datum (@data) { print $datum->as_HTML, "\n"; }` [download] #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
