extract content from html file

yeppikae has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

The input to the program would be a HTML file. This html file would contain only one table with 4 columns and any number of rows. There can be any thing before and after the table. I need to capture the information in these columns and store it in a database. I need a help with regular expression to do this.

Don't use a regular expression. Just get HTML::ExtractTable to do the deed for you.	[reply]
