Because there can be nested tables and other elements that can throw off
simple regex parsing, I would try either HTML::TokeParser,
HTML::TokeParser::Simple, or XML::TokeParser.  The latter would be only
if the input is valid, well-formed XHTML.

TokeParser can be used to find a table within a specific div.
