HTML::TagFilter not filtering opening quote ?

gube has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I would like to strip the open quote tag from my html input. If any quote without closing quote i need to strip that out. But, its not stripping. Please suggest how to avoid the unwanted quotes ?

use strict;
use warnings;

use Time::Piece;


use HTML::TagFilter;
my $tf = HTML::TagFilter->new();

my $dirty_html = "test252bb<a>gube<";
my $clean_html = $tf->filter($dirty_html);
print $clean_html;

Current output : test252bb<a>gube&lt; I need : test252bb gube&lt;

This change will strip the `<a>` but it won't replace it with a space- `my $tf = HTML::TagFilter->new(allow => {});`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
