remove all html tags by perl

[jjliu]

Could someone tell me how to remove all html tags (and anything inside tags)
by perl. Some people suggested me to use HTML::TagFilter but i could not
find window version. Thanks very much for your help.

That will remove ALL characters. He really needs something along the lines
of:

s/\<[^\<]+\>//;

This only works if the entire TAG is within the same string. If the tag
spans multiple lines, they will need to be concatenated into 1 string.

Gunnar knows that. :-)

Why all the backslashes?
Also, I suspect you meant the second < to be a >.

This only works if the entire TAG is within the same string. If the
tag spans multiple lines, they will need to be concatenated into 1
string.

It also doesn't work if anything within the tag or its attributes contain
a > symbol. Example:

<img src="mathexpression.gif" alt="5 is > 4" />
<input type="submit" onclick="if (count > 1) true else false" />

Only the head tag? Well, in that case a regexp similar to what Kris
suggested might be sufficient. But please note that normally you'd
better use a module when dealing with HTML code, and even if I have
never used the one you mentioned, it appears to be a good suggestion.
Some people suggested me to use HTML::TagFilter but i could not
find window version.

What do you mean by Windows version? What makes you think that
HTML::TagFilter doesn't work on Windows?
