        Is this table you speak of in a frame (or an iframe) or written out by JavaScript (document.write or such). Since you didn't simply give us the URL or the complete HTML (in read more tags) it is difficult to help. I am guessing you are using WWW::Mechanize to get this page, since you did not tell us exactly what you are doing here you have not made it easy for people to help you. See the PerlMonks FAQ and How do I post a question effectively?.

    You might also look at HTML::TokeParser to get at the information you're after. I used it to strip headlines from newspaper sites a while back and it worked well for me.

    I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code

    My first thought is that your problem is because you're trying to get the results of a submitted form not the page in question. If you pass that address to your script you'll likely get the source page before the form is submitted. Check the html source that your script is receiving to make sure the results you're after are actually in there. It looks like your code stripping is working fairly well.
