Fellow Monks
I am writing a script that will query a url and get the html code from the page and then parse it with HTML::TableExtract. I am getting and error in my log file that says:
HTML::TableExtract=HASH(0x1df15b8)

Does anyone know how i can fix this or maybe show me a better way to get my information. The information i need is in a table on this page.
Here's a copy of my code. Please, any help would be appreciated. THNX.

• 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).
