Hi Monks,
I'm trying to parse some table content out of a HTML page and was having some trouble so I've whipped up a dummy table and script and I'm getting an error stating that I 'Can't call method "rows" on unblessed reference at ./s.pl line 25'. Here is the dummy html file... 
<html>
<body>

<table align="center">
<tr><td>Name</td><td>Blah</td></tr>
<tr><td>bill</td><td>fdagdfg</td></tr>
<tr><td>ted</td><td>sdfsdf</td></tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

[download]

and the script.... 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML::TableExtract;

#my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new ( depth => 1, count => 2 );
my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new ( attribs => { align => 'center' } );

print "Start\n";

my $data;
{
local( $/, *FILE);
open FILE, "blah.html" or die "Could not open file , $!\n";
$data = <FILE>;
close (FILE);
}
print $data;

$te->parse($data);
print "table stuff:\n";
foreach my $ts ( $te->tables ) {
        print "Table\n";
        foreach my $row ( $ts->rows ) {
                print "R        ", join(',', @$row), "\n";
        }
}

I'm sure this is probably quite simple, but at this hour its eluding me so I was hoping someone might be able to explain what is going on.

Regards Paul
