ag4ve has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

so, i'm guessing that the question is how to set the //td/tr xpath strings up so that i get multiple rows? or if not, how do i setup the scraper function so that it loops to the next row? or what other module might i try to accomplish this? UPDATE ok, so thanks to the anonymous poster, here's what i've come up with that works damn nice:
thanks all, and sorry about not posting full code and just the snip - tried not to make the post too long.
