Hi David,
I hit a wall here! Your post makes me....



. When I posted my code, there was 503 webpage error. I thought maybe the mod is banning from posting here. Anyway, I was busy figuring out another solution and I just did it. Yes.. OLE wrapper for IE from perlmonks. Good ole IE browser did the job. There isn't much documentation on this wrapper.

These few lines of code did it. Just keep looping...

my $table = $IE->{Document}->getElementByID("DataTables_Table_0");
my $table_rows = $table -> getElementsByTagName("tr");
my $table_data = $table_rows -> Item($j)-> getElementsByTagName("td");
Thanks for your reply.
Sty, I don't have time for this Linux thingy. Still stuck with $soft Windoze 10.
