How to use HTML::Parser to remove HTML tags and print result

[Mitchua]

I am trying to use HTML::Parser to parse an HTML file, remove all HTML tags
(including comments, etc.), replace all ENTITIES (e.g. &amp), and put the
result into a variable as a string. I figure HTML::Parser itself can
somehow preform the filtering, but how do I get it back as a string? I'd
appreciate some sample code if anyone has any. Sorry if this is a real n00b
question.

Thanks a lot,
Mitchua

Try this for a sample of parsing a webpage

If you are just trying to remove all the html tags, you could just do this
$webpage =~ s/<.*?>//g;
