Almost, not quite. Need this: 

# strips a specific tag from string
sub eliminate_tags {
  my ($page, $tag) = @_;

my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new;
foreach my $b ($dom->parse($page)->find($tag)->each) {
  $b->remove
}
  return $dom;
}

So my beef it that: 1) I'd have to be familiar enough with Mojo::Dom to figure out it could do this (I'm not) so I needed to come PerlMonks to find someone like you to help and 2) I have to spend 20 min. wading through monstrous documentation to figure out how to use it for something simple.

So why isn't a specific tool better than a general purpose tool? You're saying a specific tool is inferior because it has more dependencies?
