Hi guys! I am trying to extract some information from a table in an HTML page. Namely, the small chunk of info that you see under "Representative" in the original website. But, although I *think* I am searching for the correct tag, I think I'm getting the whole file instead? Could you please help me find what I am doing wrong?

Here is the code I have so far. I am sorry if this is such a simple question

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;
use Data::Dump;
use HTML::Tree;
use LWP::Simple qw(get);

my $content=get('http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/?term=Xylella_fast
+idiosa');

my $tree = HTML::Tree->new();

$tree->parse($content);

my $data =$tree->look_down(
    '_tag' =>'div',
    class => 'genome_descr'
    );

dd $data;

How would you extract those lines (not the table) into an array? What am I doing wrong in the search?

Thanks in advance! You guys rock!
