HTML::Table is used for creating tables, rather than reading them. I suspect you meant HTML::TableExtract?
Again, however, I suspect that that won't really work
either as it discards all information that it doesn't
need.
You probably just want to build a handler onto HTML::Parser:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use HTML::Parser;
my $in_table = 0;
my $p = HTML::Parser->new(
default_h => [ sub { print shift unless $in_table }, 'text'],
start_h => [ sub {
shift eq 'table' ? $in_table++ : $in_table || print shift
}, 'tagname, text'],
end_h => [ sub {
shift eq 'table' ? $in_table-- : $in_table || print shift
}, 'tagname, text'],
);
$p->parse_file(shift || die "Need a file") || die $!;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
