I have found HTML::TableExtract to be easy to use in simple cases: 

use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::TableExtract;

my $content;
{
    local $/ = undef; # slurp mode
    $content = <DATA>;
}

my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new();
$te->parse( $content );

foreach my $ts ( $te->tables() )
{
    foreach my $row ( $ts->rows() )
    {
        print join ( "\t", @$row ), "\n";
    }
}

__DATA__
<html><head><title>Person Profile</title></head>
<center>
<font size=5><b>Profile</b></font>

<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
    <td class="rlab">Short Name:</td>
    <td class="l">John</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="rlab">Long Name:</td>
    <td class="l">John Abraham</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="rlab">Company:</td>
    <td class="l">Idea</a></td>
</tr>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="rlab">Currency:</td>
    <td class="l">EUR</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body></html>
