And what about a similar construct for stripping comments? I looked at HTML::TagFilter, but it wasn't so good at stripping Javascript tags, but the regex sauoq and Cody Pendant came up with both worked. Another weird thing is this Microsoft garbage: 
<!--[if IE]><script language=javascript>ie5=1;</script><![endif]-->

[download]

Using the regexes suggested, the <script>..</script> tags are removed, but the Microsoft garbage remains. Is there a way to roll two more regexes that can strip "normal" comments, and additionally strip this Microsoft comment garbage as well? (prominently found in Yahoo's main page)

Thanks for the help.
