Maybe using tell() and truncate() on the file?, then an inline edit/insert.

----------------------------------

$file = 'yourfile';
open (FH, "+< $file")   or die "can't edit $file: $!";
while ( <FH> ) {
    $pos = tell(FH) if $_ =~ /table border/; # your regex here
}
truncate(FH, $pos + 1)    or die "can't truncate $file: $!";
-----

# then figure out how to insert your new text block. ask again if you 
#  have trouble
