I can understand deleting script tags in received html, although doing so with a regex you are looking for trouble as others countless times pointed out to you. But why remove span tags? They can be part of a table cell and contain the data you are looking for.

Secondly and most importantly, have a look again at the docs for HTML::TableExtract. You have missed the # Examine ***ALL*** matching tables part (emphasis mine).

BTW, you have a long way to go. Instead of hitting the site testing each of your failed attempts, download the html once and read it in from file while you are trying to work out the right way to scrape.

Scraping is like Zen. With the added complexity that there is clapping with 2, 1 AND 0 hands!
