If you parse the HTML tag by tag you can make a good work with REGEX, and is what I made, not a regex filter directly in the full HTML source. Is like a pure Perl parser that use the ability of REGEX to make it faster.

Since what I want is only clean HTML in a fast way, I can't parse the HTML with a full tree. Note that the idea is to filter the output of mod_perl, or any CGI, to make the HTML smaller, and this can't be slow or use much memory/CPU or will be bad for the server, without advantages.

I tested htmltidy (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/) and saw that it's good to fix bugs in the HTML and to apply a style to it, not to clean the code!
