Have you looked at the Marpa::R2::HTML parser? 
use 5.014;
use warnings;

use <a href="">Marpa::R2::HTML qw(html);

my $with_table = <<"HTML";
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<svg width="100" height="100">
  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="green" stroke-width="4" fill=
+"yellow" />
</svg>

</body>
</html>
HTML
my $no_table = html( \$with_table, { svg => sub { return q{} } });
say $$no_table;

[download]
yields 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>



</body>
</html>

It's pretty tolerant --- if we drop the closing </svg> tag ... well, it will return the same answer.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
