Perl script to rip texts from html file
Request is same as my old resolved EE question https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24537501/I-need-a-PERL-script-to-eliminate-certain-fields-from-webpage-then-add-Total-bytes-and-save-result-to-a-file.html .
This was working great until recently, Problem occured after updating the application with latest version. I think something has changed within the html page ie tables or some. I have attached file below to show you what results i used to get and the current ones.
Problems facing now:
1) Endpoints missing
2) Bytes calculations wrong
error-received-when-running-scri.txt
NTF.txt
Data-before-updates.htm
Results-before-updates.xls
Data-after-updates.htm
Results-after-updates.xls

You should look at using a module designed for parsing html, such as HTML::Parser.
