The short answer is yes, you can. I don't use the exact parsing utilities that you are using, but I routinely WWW::Mechanize and parse the content
Something like the following should work for you. NOTE: I did not test this exact code
use HTML::TableExtract;
use WWW::Mechanize;
my $user_agent='Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; nl; rv:1.9.2.
+13)Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13';
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(autocheck => 0, agent = $user_agent );
if ( $mech->success ) {
my $html_string = $mech->content;
my $headers = ['col1', 'col2', 'col3', 'col4', 'col5'];
my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new( headers => $headers );
my @tables = $te->parse($html_string)->tables;
}
...

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
