[NMLUG] Perl Help. Please.

Group,
I need help with the following perl problem. I am using perl to parse
a web page and collect data the problem being that the matched text and
the potential variable on different lines (example below)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
Car Color
</td>
<td colspan="2">
Blue
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
Body Type
</td>
<td colspan="2">
Two door
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
where Car Color is the matched text and Blue should be the stored
variable and where Body Type is the matched text and Two door is the
stored variable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I guess I could remove the new
line characters and split the page up with new lines after </tr> but I
didn't know if there was a better way. Another way might be to call lynx
and parse the page as it appears to a web browser. Any suggestions?
Jude
