Subject: Handling broken tables
I happen to run into a situation where I was attempting to parse a broken table. I only noticed this occasionally, and assumed it was a fluke. After inspecting the input, I suspected an incomplete table was to blame. Sure enough, my LWP download didn't catch all of it, and I was left with no closing </TABLE> tag. I made a quick hack to make use of what I had. In any rate, I'd almost expect a warn() from HTML::TableExtract to say 'Failed to locate a closing table tag' - atleast when I turned debugging up. . . . but alas, I figured it out myself. Thanks for the nice module BTW.
