Hi all, I am writing a script in Perl for stripping the HTML code along with Javascript. It should remove the comments in each code. The file will be like, 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> 
<html> 
<!-- testing 
test--> 
"<!-- test -->" 
<body> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
   document.write('<h2>This is a header</h2>');"/* testing */" 
   document.write('<p>/*hello*/This is a paragraph</p>'); /* sdkfjhsdf
+hsdfhsdjkfhsjd fhsjdh fdjs sdfdh sfjh sdfhsd jhsdf hsdf*/ /* testing*
+/ 
   // hello this is a comment line 
/* CHEC This too */ 
"/*test /*test*/test*//*hello*/" 
 
 
        alert("//hello"); '// This is for testing' 
        alert("hello"); // This is for testing' 
   "/* gdjkfghdf gdflkg jdfklgjdfkjgdfkl */" 
   '"/* gdjkfghdf gdflkg jdfk6lgjdfkjgdfkl */'  
   /* hello this is multiline  
multiline 
comment  */ 
</script> 
                <!-- fjghfdj ghjfdghjhg 
fgdfgdfgklfj klfg klfd 
flkgjhfd jkghf 
fgfdlkgjdfg --> 
                        <div align="center"> 
                        This is for testing.<br> 
                        Welcome to INDIA<br> 
                        <p> "<!-- hai comment -->" HI TESTING </p> 
                        <strike>this for testing<br> 
                </strike> 
                        <center><!-- adasdasdasdasdas --> "<!-- aksdja
+sdjaskdjaks"djaksdj"askd aksdjak -->" centralizing the string</center
+> 
                        <input type=button name='but' value='check'/> 
        </body>
