Another possible approach is using HTML::Table::Extract to scrape the data (since you are targeting data in a table). You can pull the row and and data you want sans HTML tags.
It's pretty simple to use and the documentation is pretty good.
#!/usr/bin/Perl
use lib qw( ..);
use HTML::TableExtract;
use LWP::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;
my $te = new HTML::TableExtract( depth=>3,count=>4,gridmap=>1);
my $content = get(
"http://www.ice.com/customer/product_search.jsp?tofs=keywords&keywords
+=necklace");
$te->parse($content);
foreach $ts ($te->table_states)
{
foreach $row ($ts->rows)
{
print Dumper $row;
}
}
I hope that helps out.
