Comment Removal
Here is yet another method, based on Regexp::Common:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Regexp::Common qw/comment/; # <==
my $html = <<'END_HTML';
<p><b>Hello World</b>
<!-- This comment would need to be removed from the entry -->
</p><font color=red>It is Sunday!</font>
<!-- also this--><p>this should stay
here</p><!--this should go-->
END_HTML
$html =~ s/$RE{comment}{HTML}//g; # <==
print "$html\n";
Result:
<p><b>Hello World</b>
</p><font color=red>It is Sunday!</font>
<p>this should stay
here</p>
