I have the following piece of code that I would like to strip into a flat file and assign variables to the numbers. Can I use perl to strip the date and the values from this code? How do I assign each of the numbers a unique variable? 
<table border="1" cellspacing="1" width="449" bordercolor="#000000" he
+ight="60">
  <tr>
    <td width="33%" height="16"><b>Country</b></td>
    <td width="17%" height="16"><b>This Week</b></td>
    <td width="17%" height="16"><b>Last Week</b></td>
    <td width="17%" height="16"><b>Last Month</b></td>
    <td width="17%" height="16"><b>Last Year</b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="16"><p align="center"><b>United
    States</b></td>
    <td height="16">
      <p align="center">1266</td>
    <td height="16">
      <p align="center">1278</td>
    <td height="16">
      <p align="center">1275</td>
    <td height="16">
      <p align="center">975</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="10"><p align="center"><b>Canada</b></td>
    <td height="10">
      <p align="center">287</td>
    <td height="10">
      <p align="center">343</td>
    <td height="10">
      <p align="center">322</td>
    <td height="10">
      <p align="center">319</td>
  </tr>
</table>
