I was getting some odd output from HTML::TableExtract. Closer inspection of the html revealed 29 open table tags and 10 closing table tags. H::TE is allowed to be confused by a mess like that.

I tried with HTML::TreeBuilder, only looking for the cells we are interested in.

(I saved the source to a file for testing) 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::TreeBuilder;

my $filename = q{html/monk.html};
my $r = HTML::TreeBuilder->new;
$r->parse_file($filename);

# <td width="48%" valign="top">

my @cells = $r->look_down(
  _tag => q{td},
  width => q{48%},
  valign => q{top},
);

my $i;
for my $cell (@cells){
  
  my $bold = $cell->look_down(_tag => q{b});
  print $bold->as_text, qq{\n};
  
  for my $item ($cell->content_refs_list) {
    next if ref $$item;
    print $$item, qq{\n};
  }
  
  my $link = $cell->look_down(
    _tag => q{a},
  );
  print $link->attr(q{href}), qq{\n\n};
  last if $i++ > 2;
}
