Hi Tim,
This answer is way too late I'm sure. But the workaround with version
1.08 is to create a new TableExtract object each time you want to parse
something.
Version 1.09, coming out soon, will automatically reset itself whenever
you call the parse methods.

I'm in the process of prototyping code that is going to run through
around 50,000 files, each containing data in a single html table. I
like HTML::TableExtract and would like to use it. However, I am
running into a problem. It appears that despite my best efforts, I
cannot destroy a TableExtract object or clear out its TableState objects.
Instead it appears that as I loop through my files the TableExtract
object is continually adding new TableStates. I have tried declaring
the variable using
my $te = new HTML::TableExtract( depth=>0, count=>0, gridmap=>0)
buried inside a loop that is inside the loop that reads the files
in--hoping that it would be destroyed when my code exited the loop.
I have tried explicitly calling the $te->DESTROY method at the bottom
of my loop. This does not generate any errors, but doesn't seem to do
anything.
I've only played with about 100 files so far, and each time through
the loop, it is progressively slower.
I suppose I could write code to create separate perl scripts using
just a few tables at a time and then call those scripts--but I'm
hoping I've missed something simple in the documentation.
Is there an explicit way to clear the TableState objects or to destroy
and re-instantiate the TableExtract object?
