Extracting table data from HTML

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

Holy monks,

I am parsing HTML files. There are tables in them. I need to put the data that was in these HTML tables in some perl data structure. I don't think that I'm the first who has to do that. I want to ask you if you can offer some ready CPAN modules for that.

Thank you.

In addition to previous post I hope that this article Web Mining with Perl will help you with exstracting data from HTML table. Updated: Also, you can use a module HTML::TableExtractor - HTML tables parser. -------------------------------- SV* sv_bless(SV* sv, HV* stash);	[reply]
