=head1 DESCRIPTION

This decoder iterates the <TR> tags of the <TABLE>s of an HTML file.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 parse

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any HTML parsers that properly parse a stream on demand rather
than using callbacks, so this module simply parses all the HTML up-front and iterates the perl
data structure.  This would be a problem if you have more HTML than can fit into memory
comfortably.  Buf if that's the case, you have bigger problems ;-)

This method is called automatically the first time you invoke the iterator.  You might choose
to call it earlier in order to report errors better.

=head2 iterator

  my $iterator= $decoder->iterator;
