in thread Regular Expression: I need a regex to fetch data from an html file

There are a lot of nice modules in CPAN that will do your extraction in a more robust way-- i.e. they won't break if the maker of the table makes small changes in the text.

Some places to start:
HTML::TableExtract
HTML::TreeParser
HTML::TokeParser

Unless you're trying to do something really out there (and maybe even then), someone has probably already solved more than half of your problem and posted a module that does it reliably.
