And if your data is in an HTML table, you can get your array in a single line of AnyData code. AnyData uses both LWP and HTML::TableExtract under the hood:

use AnyData;
my $arrayRef = adConvert(
    'HTMLtable',                  # input is an HTML table
    'http://host/path/foo.html',  # input comes from a remote file
    'ARRAY',                      # output is an Array reference
    '',                           # output not sent to file
    {count=>1}                    # HTML::TableExtract flags
);
