Here, the comment handling method named comment() of HTML::Filter is
overridden in the new class CommentStripper. The new method does nothing
(one way to easily ignore comments). All the other methods of HTML::Filter
will still be accessible to CommentStripper class. See 'perldoc perlboot'
Use it like:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use lib "."; # Assuming CommentStripper.pm is in $PWD
use CommentStripper;
my $p = CommentStripper->new->parse_file( "my.html" );
