I need to retrieve some data from a web page. After analysing the HTML code of the page, I found the data I need is embeded in a table with a unique table id. I don’t know whether it is an HTML rule or not, anyway it’s very good for parsing I think.

The data in the table is arranged as below (various attributes and tags have been omitted in order to give you a clear “data structure”)

<table .... id = "tablename" .... >
    <tr>
         <td .... >filed1</td>
             ....
         <td .... >filedn</td>
    </tr>
         #several "trs" here
    <tr>
         <td .... >filed1</td>
             ....
         <td .... >filedn</td>
    </tr>
</table>

So my question is how to use Perl’s HTML parser utility to meet my needs in this case.

Thanks in advance.

    HTML::TableExtract sounds exactly like what you are looking for.
