punch_card_don has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Mango Monks,
Looking for a good, simple, quick to get up and running, module to scrape some data from a table in a web page. The url is basic, no authentication. The table looks like:
And I want to scrape off the city names, conditions, temperature. I can count on the columns always being in the same order. Not hard to write a custom parser, but if thee's a module out there ideally suited to this kind of thing, that'd be preferable.
Thanks.
