Me, I'd use HTML::TreeBuilder: http://search.cpan.org/~sburke/HTML-Tree-3.18/lib/HTML/TreeBuilder.pm 1) Build a tree out of your HTML file: my $html_file = 'whatever_your_filename_is'; my $tree = new HTML::TreeBuilder; $tree->parse_file($html_file); 2) Extract all the tables: my @tags = $tree->look_down("_tag", 'table'); Step 2) uses look_down(), which is a method inherited from HTML::Element: http://search.cpan.org/~sburke/HTML-Tree-3.18/lib/HTML/Element.pm Now you've got a list of your tables, which you can then walk through as you please. -- Stephen R.
