I have an application in Perl that reads in HTML based mark up and converts it to a textual output. One of the things I have encountered is the need to easily convert a HTML table to a fixed font output.

 <table border='1'>  <tr><td>Hello</td>      <td>World</td>  <tr>      <td>foo</td>      <td>bar</td>  </tr></table>

I am looking for something that can take the above table and create something like the following.

 ------------------------------  | Hello     | World          |  ------------------------------  | foo       | bar            |  ------------------------------

I know how to approach this in Perl and write the process, but I am hoping that there is some library out there that already will do this for me.

  1. I’ve used Text::Table with great success. In combination with something like HTML::TreeBuilder it should be pretty easy.
