in thread regex hangs forever

I have a related question. I am coincidentally looking for a way to read table rows from the content of an HTTP::Response object. I was going to fire up a touch of the HTML::Parser, but I was first going to look for a built in. Any tips?

UPDATE: I had solved my question above once before, but coudln't find the code in my massive code-scrapbook. What I wanted was HTML::TreeBuilder. It is the bomb.

    If you are looking to get data from HTML tables, HTML::TableExtract can often do it with much less work than using something like HTML::Parser or HTML::TreeBuilder directly, especially if the tables are complex...
