Extracting nested tables from HTML

Hi!

I have several very large HTML files from which I'd like to extract only
tables nested at the deepest level. I thought this would be quite easy
by extracting something like (<table.*?</table>) where I'd alter the
'.*?' to test for and reject any new occurrences of a starting table
tag, but I can't seem to get it. Any pointers?

I want to deal with the file at a text level until the tables are
extracted, after which I plan to use HTML::TableContentParser to extract
the needed content.

Thanks for your help.

Terry.
