Greetings Monks,

I am trying to scrape the TV schedule from the C-SPAN website at http://inside.c-spanarchives.org:8080/cspan/schedule.csp I am a C-SPAN junkie (which may seem weird to all the CPAN junkies here). Here is what I have been struggling with so far: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML::TreeBuilder;

my $html = <<'EOHTML';
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0" width="100%">
    <tr>
      <td width="20%" align="right" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
      <font face="arial, helvetica" size="2"><b>02:44 AM
      EDT</b></font><br>
      <font face="arial, helvetica" size="1">0:42
      (est.)</font><br></td>

      <td valign="top"><font face="arial, helvetica" size=
      "1">Speech</font><br>
      <font face="arial, helvetica" size="2"><a href=
      "/cspan/cspan.csp?command=dprogram&amp;record=142524675">U.S.-Ja
+pan
      Relations</a><br>
      Asia Society, Washington Center<br></font> <font face=
      "arial, helvetica" size="2" color="#CC0000">Ryozo Kato</font>
      <font face="arial, helvetica" size="1">, Japan</font></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
EOHTML


my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content($html);
   $tree->parse_content($html);
my $c = $tree->look_down(
        "_tag", "table",
        "width", "100%"
        );
my @trimmed_text = map ( ref($c) ? $c->as_trimmed_text : $c, $c->conte
+nt_list );

print "@trimmed_text\n";

This prints:
02:44 AM EDT0:42 (est.)SpeechU.S.-Japan Relations Asia Society, Washington Center Ryozo Kato , Japan

But I am looking to put the data above into a hash of this form: 

 %h_cspan = (
    time   => 02:44 AM EDT
    length => 0:42 (est.)
    type   => Speech
    title  => U.S.-Japan Relations
    org    => Asia Society, Washington Center
 );

Is this even possible with the HTML::ELement look_down method? Any help is appreciated.
