<p>I was able to turn your HTML table into a valid<sup>[1]</sup> XML table simply by prefixing it with:
<c>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
</c>
<p>On a more serious note: You don't really provide a lot of information about what you're doing, so my joke answer above is an accurate-enough answer to your question.</p>
<p>However, what I think you want is to break your table up into more than a single cell. For that, you're going to need to figure out how to (a) break your text up into records, and (b) split the records into fields.</p>
<p>If we ignore your header, it looks like your table data is a single line per record, so you can use a typical loop to read it record by record:</p>
<c>
while (my $record = <$FH>) {
... process each record ...
}
</c>
<p>And your first two fields appear to be single words. So you could use a [doc://perlre|regular expression] or [doc://split|some] [doc://substr|other] [doc://unpack|method] to split your records up into the individual fields.</p>
<p>Finally, to turn your data into XML, you would be well served to go to CPAN and look for some [cpan://XML::Writer|module to write XML], to make sure you don't make "fake" XML files (of which the world sees too many).</p>
