I am trying to write a perl script which would open and edit an html file which looks like this: 
 
<tr>
<td WIDTH="16%" align="center"><b><a href="A01/A01.htm">Alpha ims10wk3
+3f</a></b></td>
<td WIDTH="16%" align="center"><b><font face="Arial Black" color="#00F
+F00"><b>GREEN</b></font></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td WIDTH="16%" align="center"><b><a href="A02/A02.htm">Beta ims10wk33
+ff</a></b></td>
<td WIDTH="16%" align="center"><b><font face="Arial Black" color="#00F
+F00"><b>GREEN</b></font></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td WIDTH="16%" align="center"><b><a href="A2/A2.htm">ims10wk33b</a></
+b></td>
<td WIDTH="16%" align="center">
</tr>

I have to delete the first row of the table i.e. everything that comes between the first tr tags and add similar text at the last row of the table. Hence the perl script has to delete whatever comes between the first tr tags and add some text after the last tr tag. The actual html file is much longer than what is shown above. Could anyone help me on this? Thanks!
