Re: HTML::TableExtract (parse table column from an HTML page)

    Probably something like: 
    my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new(depth => 0);
$te->parse($content);
my $table = $te->first_table_found;
my $tree = $table->tree;
print $tree->cell(2,2);

      That isn't working either. This is the error I receive: "Can't call method "tree" on unblessed reference"

        That's straight from the documentation, so it probably can't find a table in the HTML source you've given it.
