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>

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
