    hmm.. gotcha =/ i'll keep trying, then, thanks.
      there are such things as "css div tables" that use div and css and look like tables in modern browsers but aren't, tableextract won't help you with those
        hmm, i took a good hard look at the code of the page im extracting from.. it is definitely table tags.. however there aren't any headers, so that seems to be why I can't use TableExtract. looking into Table.pm now, http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=52723
