I'll preface this post by saying I haven't used perl in a few years and that was simply for an undergraduate web programming class. Currently I am trying to parse out data from SEC financial statements, which can be found in tables. I'll need to be searching through 200k+ documents and wanted a way to loop through a list of urls quickly. I can correctly get the array of urls set up, but trying to use html::tableextract for each item of the array is proving troublesome. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Code is below: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use 5.014;    # so push/pop/etc work on scalars (experimental)
use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::Simple 'get';
use HTML::TableExtract;


my $file = 'C:\Payout Policy Paper\Data\urllist.csv';
open (FH, "< $file") or die "Can't open $file for read: $!";
my @lines = <FH>;
close FH or die "Cannot close $file: $!"; 
print @lines;

foreach $line (@lines) {


my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new(
    headers => [ 'Purchased','Average','Publicly','May'],
    slice_columns => 0,keep_html => 0,br_translate => 0
);

$te->parse($line);

my $table = $te->first_table_found;

use Data::Dump;
dd $_ for $table->rows;
}

I receive the error: Global symbol "$line" requires explicit package name at c:perlscripts\test.pl

Update 1: Thank you both for the quick responses, that moves me further along in the code, but the error I now receive is "Can't call method "rows" on an undefined value at C:\perlscripts\test.pl line 31"
