The following should help you out for now:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;
use HTML::TableExtract;

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

my $name = 'bob';
my %results;

foreach my $ts ($te->tables) {
   my ($header_row, @content_rows) = $ts->rows;

   my ($placeholder, @headers) = @$header_row;

   foreach my $data_row (@content_rows) {
       my( $type, @real_data ) = @$data_row;

       foreach my $i (0 .. $#headers) {
          my $hash_key = join( '_', lc($name), lc($headers[$i]), lc($t
+ype) );
          $results{ $hash_key } = $real_data[$i];
       }
   }
}
print Dumper( \%results );
exit;

There would be probably many things to add; I'd say for now only that if you learn quickly to use Data::Dumper, that might be an tremendous help in getting a good start.

Good luck.
