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>

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.
