Hello Kind Monks:

I hope you will have time for my dilemma. I need to parse HTML tables.
Like the data found at this link: http://www.databasefootball.com/boxscores/scheduleyear.htm?yr=1985&lg=nfl
So I installed the module HTML::FormatText::WithLinks::AndTables;
Which came really close to doing what I need.
After downloading the source for the above page, I ran it through a bit of code and got the following: 


   1985 NFL Season Scores, Schedules and Playoffs

This close to what I need. Problem the URLs are striped out into "footnotes", but they are all [1]. Makes it a bit of a bummer to line up the table contents with the corresponding URL.
Can be done, but I was expecting the footnotes to come through as [1], [2], [3].
Hoping somebody has more experience with this module than I do.

thanks in advance

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
