I have found HTML::TableExtract to be easy to use in simple cases:

use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::TableExtract;

my $content;
{
    local $/ = undef; # slurp mode
    $content = <DATA>;
}

my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new();
$te->parse( $content );

foreach my $ts ( $te->tables() )
{
    foreach my $row ( $ts->rows() )
    {
        print join ( "\t", @$row ), "\n";
    }
}

__DATA__
<html><head><title>Person Profile</title></head>
<center>
<font size=5><b>Profile</b></font>

<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
    <td class="rlab">Short Name:</td>
    <td class="l">John</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="rlab">Long Name:</td>
    <td class="l">John Abraham</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="rlab">Company:</td>
    <td class="l">Idea</a></td>
</tr>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="rlab">Currency:</td>
    <td class="l">EUR</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body></html>

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
