I made a local HTML test page to be parsed with my Perl script, this is my Perl code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use WWW::Mechanize;
use HTML::TableExtract;

sub parse {
    $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck => 1);
    $mech->get("file:///home/cafaro/omertascript/test.html");
    $content = $mech->content();
     
     $te = HTML::TableExtract->new(depth => 0);
    $te->parse($content);
    $table = $te->first_table_found;
    $tree = $table->tree;
    
    print $tree->cell(0,0);
}

parse();

... and this is my HTML code: 
<html>
    <head>
        <title>test page</title>
    <head>
    <body>
        <table>    
            <tr><td>parse me</td></tr>
        </table>    
    </body>
</html>
