If you're sure of the table format... 
while       # use a loop to grab all instances
(m|         # use pipes to delimit, so no escaping /
<tr         # beginning of row
.*?         # minimal match of anything
>(\d{5})    # > followed by 5 digits (remember digits)  
.*?         # minimal match of anything
>(\d{2})    # > followed by 2 digits (remember digits)  
.*?         # minimal match of anything
>(\d{3})    # > followed by 3 digits (remember digits)  
.*?         # minimal match of anything
>(\d{3})    # > followed by 3 digits (remember digits)  
.*?         # minimal match of anything
>(\d{2})    # > followed by 2 digits (remember digits)  
.*?         # minimal match of anything
(&nbsp;|\w) # &nbsp; or a letter
</FONT>     # followed by a closing font tag

    my @row = ($1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6);
    # now do whatever with @row
}
